30. God planned for them to be like his Son. And those he planned to be like his Son, he also called. And those he called, he also made right with him. And those he made right, he also glorified.
31. So what should we say about this? If God is for us, then no one can defeat us.
32. God let even his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for us all. So with Jesus, God will surely give us all things.
33. Who can accuse the people that God has chosen? No one! God is the One who makes them right.
34. Who can say that God’s people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is on God’s right side and is begging God for us.
35. Can anything separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can troubles or problems or sufferings? If we have no food or clothes, if we are in danger, or even if death comes—can any of these things separate us from Christ’s love?
36. As it is written in the Scriptures:“For you we are in danger of death all the time.People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed.” Psalm 44:22
37. But in all these things we have full victory through God who showed his love for us.
38-39. Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from the love God has for us. Not death, not life, not angels, not ruling spirits, nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us, nothing below us, or anything else in the whole world will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
