Romans 8:28-30

New Life Version

²⁸ We know that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are chosen to be a part of His plan. ²⁹ God knew from the beginning who would put their trust in Him. So He chose them and made them to be like His Son. Christ was first and all those who belong to God are His brothers. ³⁰ He called to Himself also those He chose. Those He called, He made right with Himself. Then He shared His shining-greatness with those He made right with Himself.
