Romans
8: 28-39
More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to
the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he
also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response
to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who
did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along
with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any
charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who
is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to
life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or
hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As
it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor
life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
