Disciples’ Literal New Testament
27 And the One searching our hearts knows[a] what the mind of the Spirit is, because He is interceding for the saints in accordance with God.
This Means God Is Working All Things Together Toward Our Glorification
28 And we know that all things are[b] working-together[c] for good for the ones loving God, the ones being called ones according to His purpose[d]. 29 Because whom He foreknew[e], He also predestined[f] to be similar-to-the-form of the image[g] of His Son, so that He might be firstborn[h] among many brothers.
