Romans 8:28-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
28 We know that all things work together[a] for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.(A) 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 firstborn within a large family.[b](B) 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.(C)
God’s Love in Christ Jesus
31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?(D) 32 He who did not withhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not with him also give us everything else? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.(E) 34 Who is to condemn? It is Christ[c] who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.(F)
