Romans 8:28–33

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

    3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

    4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

  5. Open

    39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    2And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

    8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

    9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

    10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

    11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

    12Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

Read all 28 verses in Romans 8:12–39

8:12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

8:13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

8:14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

8:15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

8:16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

8:17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

8:18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

8:19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

8:20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

8:21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

8:22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

8:23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

8:24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

8:25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

8:26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

8:27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Selected passage

8:29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Selected passage

8:30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Selected passage

8:31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Selected passage

8:32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Selected passage

8:33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Selected passage

8:34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

8:36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

8:37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

8:38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

8:39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
