27. God, who looks into our hearts, knows the mind of the Spirit. And the Spirit prays for God's people just as God wants him to pray.
28. We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose.
29. God planned that those he had chosen would become like his Son. In that way, Christ will be the first and most honored among many brothers.
30. And those God has planned for, he has also appointed to be saved. Those he has appointed, he has made right with himself. To those he has made right with himself, he has given his glory.
31. What should we say then? Since God is on our side, who can be against us?
32. God did not spare his own Son. He gave him up for us all. Then won't he also freely give us everything else?
33. Who can bring any charge against God's chosen ones? God makes us right with himself.
