24. For in hope we are saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, he does not wait for.
25. But if we wait for that which we do not see, with patience we wait for it.
26. And likewise also the Spirit helps our weakness; for we know not how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself makes entreaty for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27. But he that searches the hearts knows what is the desire of the Spirit, that according to the will of God, he makes entreaty for the saints.
28. And we now know that unto those who love God, all things help them unto good, to those who according to the purpose are called to be saints.
29. For unto those whom he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30. And unto those whom he did mark out beforehand the way, to these he also called; and to whom he called, these he also justified; and to whom he justified, these he also glorified.
31. What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?
32. He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him?
33. Who shall accuse the chosen of God’s? God is he that justifies them.
34. Who is he that condemns them? Christ, Jesus, is he who died and, even more, he that also rose again, who furthermore is at the right hand of God, who also makes entreaty for us.
35. Who shall separate us from the charity of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
36. (As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37. Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38. Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come
39. nor height nor depth nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the charity of God, which is in Christ, Jesus our Lord.
