Romans 8:29

Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and report to My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory—

God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding to the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom which has been hidden, which God predestined before the ages to our glory,

but if anyone loves God, he has been known by Him.

And just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you do not do the things that you want.

by predestining us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

In Him, we also have been made an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by His working through which He is able to even subject all things to Himself.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

and have put on the new man who is being renewed to a full knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the trespasses that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to the obedience of Jesus Christ and the sprinkling of His blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not been manifested as yet what we will be. We know that when He is manifested, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
