Romans 8 : 28 - 39
Chapter 8
| 28 | And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
|
| 29 | For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
|
| 30 | Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
|
| 31 | What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
|
| 32 | He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
|
| 33 | Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
|
| 34 | Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
|
| 35 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
|
| 36 | As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
|
| 37 | Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
|
| 38 | For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
|
| 39 | nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
