Romans 8:22-39

Darby Translation

²² For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.

²³ And not only [that], but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.

²⁴ For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

²⁵ But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.

²⁶ And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.

²⁷ But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

²⁸ But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

²⁹ Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.

³⁰ But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?

³² He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

³³ Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:

³⁴ who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

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

³⁶ According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

³⁷ But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.

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

³⁹ nor 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.
