We know, in fact, that God works all things together for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

I am persuaded, you see, that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor the present, nor the future, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Messiah Jesus our Lord.

In the same way, too, the spirit comes alongside and helps us in our weakness. We don’t know what to pray for as we ought to; but that same spirit pleads on our behalf, with groanings too deep for words.

What then shall we say to all this? If God is for us, who is against us?

So, therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in the Messiah, Jesus!

Focus the mind on the flesh, and you’ll die; but focus it on the spirit, and you’ll have life, and peace.

No: in all these things we are completely victorious through the one who loved us.

This is how I work it out. The sufferings we go through in the present time are not worth putting in the scale alongside the glory that is going to be unveiled for us.

Who shall separate us from the Messiah’s love? Suffering, or hardship, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the spirit is thinking, because the spirit pleads for God’s people according to God’s will.

All who are led by the spirit of God, you see, are God’s children.

Look at it like this. People whose lives are determined by human flesh focus their minds on matters to do with the flesh, but people whose lives are determined by the spirit focus their minds on matters to do with the spirit.

God, after all, did not spare his own son; he gave him up for us all! How then will he not, with him, freely give all things to us?

When that happens, it is the spirit itself giving supporting witness to what our own spirit is saying, that we are God’s children. And if we’re children, we are also heirs: heirs of God, and fellow heirs with the Messiah, as long as we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

The mind focused on the flesh, you see, is hostile to God. It doesn’t submit to God’s law; in fact, it can’t.

Yes: creation itself is on tiptoe with expectation, eagerly awaiting the moment when God’s children will be revealed.

Let me explain. We know that the entire creation is groaning together, and going through labor pains together, up until the present time.
