Romans 8:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:28

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For ^awe do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but ^bthe Spirit Himself makes intercession¹ for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 Now ^aHe who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints ^baccording to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those ^awho are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom ^aHe foreknew, ^bHe also predestined ^cto be conformed to the image of His Son, ^dthat He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^acalled; whom He called, these He also ^bjustified; and whom He justified, these He also ^cglorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? ^aIf God is for us, who can be against us?
