Romans 8:25-39

English Standard Version

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we ^(A)wait for it with patience.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For ^(B)we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but ^(C)the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. ²⁷ And ^(D)he who searches hearts knows what is ^(E)the mind of the Spirit, because^[a] the Spirit ^(F)intercedes for the saints ^(G)according to the will of God. ²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^(H)for good,^[b] for ^(I)those who are called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For those whom he ^(J)foreknew he also ^(K)predestined ^(L)to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be ^(M)the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰ And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also ^(N)justified, and those whom he justified he also ^(O)glorified.

God's Everlasting Love

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? ^(P)If God is for us, who can be^[c] against us? ^32 (Q)He who did not spare his own Son but ^(R)gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? ³³ Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? ^(S)It is God who justifies. ^34 (T)Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—^(U)who is at the right hand of God, ^(V)who indeed is interceding for us.^{[d] 35} Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written,

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than ^(Y)conquerors through ^(Z)him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
