Romans 羅馬書 8:28-30 28 我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛　神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。 29 因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。 30 預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。   (和合本） 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. (NASB)

Romans 羅馬書 8:31-32 31 既是這樣，還有甚麼說的呢？　神若幫助我們，誰能敵擋我們呢？ 32 　神既不愛惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和他一同白白地賜給我們嗎？  31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 羅馬書 8:33-34 33 誰能控告　神所揀選的人呢？有　神稱他們為義了（或譯：是稱他們為義的　神嗎）。 34 誰能定他們的罪呢？有基督耶穌已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在　神的右邊，也替我們祈求（有基督....或譯：是已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在　神的右邊，也替我們祈求的基督耶穌嗎）。 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Romans 羅馬書 8:35-37 35 誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？ 36 如經上所記：我們為你的緣故終日被殺；人看我們如將宰的羊。 37 然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。  35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
