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)

Romans 8:28-34
New Living Translation
28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn[b] among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
