29 He knew them in advance and he marked them with the likeness of the image of his Son that he might be the first-born among many brethren. 30 Moreover, those he did mark in advance, he has called, and those he has called, he has declared righteous, and those he has declared righteous, he has glorified. 31 What then shall we say concerning these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 If he did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, why will he not freely give us all things with him? 33 Who is to complain against the chosen ones of God? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and rose again, and he is at the right hand of God making intercession for us. 35 What shall separate me from the love of Christ? tribulation, or imprisonment, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For your sake we die every day, and we are accounted as lambs for the slaughter. 37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor empires, nor armies, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our LORD.
