Romans 8:26-39
26 In
the same way, the Spirit comes to help our weakness. We don’t know what
we should pray, but the Spirit himself pleads our case with unexpressed
groans. 27 The one who searches hearts knows how the Spirit thinks, because he pleads for the saints, consistent with God’s will. 28 We
know that God works all things together for good for the ones who love
God, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 We
know this because God knew them in advance, and he decided in advance
that they would be conformed to the image of his Son. That way his Son
would be the first of many brothers and sisters. 30 Those
who God decided in advance would be conformed to his Son, he also
called. Those whom he called, he also made righteous. Those whom he made
righteous, he also glorified.
31 So what are we going to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He didn’t spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. Won’t he also freely give us all things with him?
33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect people? It is God who acquits them. 34 Who
is going to convict them? It is Christ Jesus who died, even more, who
was raised, and who also is at God’s right side. It is Christ Jesus who
also pleads our case for us.
35 Who
will separate us from Christ’s love? Will we be separated by trouble,
or distress, or harassment, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or
sword? 36 As it is written,
We are being put to death all day long for your sake.
We are treated like sheep for slaughter.[a]
37 But in all these things we win a sweeping victory through the one who loved us. 38 I’m
convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus
our Lord: not death or life, not angels or rulers, not present things or
future things, not powers 39 or height or depth, or any other thing that is created.
