Romans 8:29-31
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
29 Because whom He foreknew[a], He also predestined[b] to be similar-to-the-form of the image[c] of His Son, so that He might be firstborn[d] among many brothers. 30 And whom He predestined, these He also called[e]. And whom He called, these He also declared-righteous. And whom He declared righteous, these He also glorified[f].
So What Shall We Say To All This? If God Is For Us, Who Will Condemn Us?
31 Therefore, what shall we say to these things? If [g] God is for us, who is against us?
