We know that all things work for the best unto them that love god, which also ⟨image 50⟩are called of purpose. For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be a like fashioned to the shape of his son that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren. And whom he appointed before, them also he called. And which he called, them also he justified, which he justified, them also he glorified.
We know that al things worke for the best vnto them that loue god, whiche also ⟨image 50⟩are called of purpose. For those which he knew before, he also ordayned before, that they should be a like fashioned to the shape of his sonne that he might bee the first begotten sonne among many brethren. And whom he appointed before, them also he called. And which he called, them also he iustifyed, which he iustifyed, them also he glorifyed.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be on our side, who can be against us, which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all, how shall he not with him give us all things also? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? It is God that justifieth, who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead, yea, rather which is risen again, which is also on the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us.
