More Than Conquerors
28And we know that in
all things God works for the good of those who love him,j whok have been called
according to his purpose. 29For those God
foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he
might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he
predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he
justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we
say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He
who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also,
along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any
charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who
is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to
life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or
persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”l
37No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,m neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
