³⁴ Who is to condemn? It is Christ^[a] who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.^(A)

²⁸ As regards the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their ancestors,

¹⁸ All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;^(A)

²¹ And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

²² he has now reconciled^[a] in his fleshly body^[b] through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,^(A)
