    32Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all– how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?

    33Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

    34Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died(and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.

    35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

    36As it is written,“For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

    37No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!

    38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

    39nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    28And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

    29because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

    30And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
