Romans 8:29 in Context — Romans 8

27 et celui qui sonde les cœurs connaît quelle est la pensée de l’Esprit, parce que c’est selon Dieu qu’il intercède en faveur des saints.

28 Nous savons, du reste, que toutes choses concourent au bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu, de ceux qui sont appelés selon son dessein.

29 Car ceux qu’il a connus d’avance, il les a aussi prédestinés à être semblables à l’image de son Fils, afin que son Fils fût le premier-né entre plusieurs frères.

30 Et ceux qu’il a prédestinés, il les a aussi appelés; et ceux qu’il a appelés, il les a aussi justifiés; et ceux qu’il a justifiés, il les a aussi glorifiés.
