Romans 8 — Context

28

And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

29

Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

30

And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

31

What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

32

He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

33

Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

34

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.
