Romans 8:28-34
New American Standard Bible
28 And we know that [a]God [b]causes (A)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are (B)called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He (C)foreknew, He also (D)predestined to become (E)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the (F)firstborn among many brothers and sisters; 30 and these whom He (G)predestined, He also (H)called; and these whom He called, He also (I)justified; and these whom He justified, He also (J)glorified.
31 (K)What then shall we say to these things? (L)If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who (M)did not spare His own Son, but (N)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring charges against (O)God’s elect? (P)God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who (Q)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who (R)died, but rather, was [c](S)raised, who is (T)at the right hand of God, who also (U)intercedes for us.

Romans 8:28-34
Revised Standard Version
28 We know that in everything God works for good[a] with those who love him,[b] who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
God’s Love in Christ Jesus
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[c]
