Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For (A)we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but (B)when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(A) they will cease; where there are tongues,(B) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part(C) and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes,(D) what is in part disappears.

30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also (A)justified, and those whom he justified he also (B)glorified.

God's Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? (C)If God is for us, who can be[a] against us? 32 (D)He who did not spare his own Son but (E)gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? (F)It is God who justifies. 34 (G)Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—(H)who is at the right hand of God, (I)who indeed is interceding for us.[b] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

(J)“For your sake (K)we are being killed all the day long;
    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than (L)conquerors through (M)him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(E) If God is for us,(F) who can be against us?(G) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(H) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(I) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(J) No one. Christ Jesus who died(K)—more than that, who was raised to life(L)—is at the right hand of God(M) and is also interceding for us.(N) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(O) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(P) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a](Q)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(R) through him who loved us.(S) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future,(T) nor any powers,(U) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(V) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(W)
