008:030 and those whom He has pre-destined He also has called; and those whom He has called He has also declared free from guilt; and those whom He has declared free from guilt He has also crowned with glory.
008:031 What then shall we say to this? If God is on our side,
who is there to appear against us?
008:032 He who did not withhold even His own Son, but gave Him up for all
of us, will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
008:033 Who shall impeach those whom God has chosen? God declares
them free from guilt.
008:034 Who is there to condemn them? Christ Jesus died, or rather has
risen to life again. He is also at the right hand of God,
and is interceding for us.
008:035 Who shall separate us from Christ's love? Shall affliction
or distress, persecution or hunger, nakedness or danger
or the sword?
008:036 As it stands written in the Scripture, "For Thy sake they are,
all day long, trying to kill us. We have been looked upon
as sheep destined for slaughter."
008:037 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through
Him who has loved us.
008:038 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower
ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present
nor things future, nor the forces of nature,
008:039 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be
able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
