Romans 8:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 [a]Also we know that [b]all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his [c]purpose.
29 For those which he knew before, he also predestinated to be made like to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover, whom he [d]predestinated, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
