29. because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;
30. and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
31. What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32. He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
33. Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
34. who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God--who also doth intercede for us.
35. Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. (according as it hath been written--`For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
37. but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
38. for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39. nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
