Romans 8

Romans 8:28 is a well-known verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Epistle to the Romans, written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This passage is often interpreted as a promise that God will bring good out of all situations for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. The Hebrew translation of this verse is "וְיָדַעְנוּ כִּי לְכָל הַדְּבָרִים יַעֲשֶׂה הָאֱלֹהִים טוֹבָה לַאֲשֶׁר אֹהֲבָיו הַקּוֹרָאִים לְמַעַן מַחְשְׁבוֹ." In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is written as "Καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν τὸν θεὸν πάντα συνεργεῖ εἰς ἀγαθὸν τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὖσιν." The contextual background of Romans 8:28 is part of Paul's broader discussion on the believer's security in Christ, emphasizing God's sovereignty and His plan for those who are called according to His purpose. This verse is frequently cited in Christian teachings to provide comfort and assurance during times of hardship and uncertainty.
