18 Yet I’m convinced that what we suffer in the present is nothing compared to the future glory that will be revealed to us.
26 Similarly the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We don’t know how to speak with God, but the Spirit himself intercedes with and through us by groans that can’t be put into words. 28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, those whom he has called to be part of his plan. 29 For God, choosing them in advance, set them apart to be like his Son, so that the Son would be the first of many brothers and sisters.
35 Who can separate us from Christ’s love? Can oppression, distress, or persecution? Or hunger, poverty, danger, or violence? 37 No—in all that happens to us we’re more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 I’m absolutely convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor devils, neither the present nor the future, nor powers, 39 neither height nor depth, in fact nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
