Romans 8:31
29 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
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, freely give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
