UNCOVERING the uncovered OVERCOMING IN JESUS [Romans 8:26-39]

[26] And in the same way THE SPIRIT also HELPS our WEAKNESS; for WE DO NOT KNOW HOW to PRAY AS WE SHOULD, but THE SPIRIT HIMSELF INTERCEDES with groanings too deep for words; Romans 8:26-39

[27] and HE WHO SEARCHES the HEARTS KNOWS what the MIND of the SPIRIT is, because HE INTERCEDES for the SAINTS ACCORDING to (the will of) GOD. Romans 8:26-39

[28] And WE KNOW that God causes all things to work together for good to those who LOVE GOD, to those who are called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. Romans 8:26-39

IF GOD is FOR us, who is against us? [31] What then shall we say to these things? IF GOD is FOR us, who is against us? Romans 8:26-39

[37] But in all these things we OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED us. OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER is one Greek compound word, G5245, [G5228 + G3528] literally: “more than overcome” Romans 8:26-39

[38] FOR I AM CONVINCED that neither DEATH, nor LIFE, nor ANGELS, nor PRINCIPALITIES, nor THINGS PRESENT, nor things to COME, nor POWERS, Romans 8:26-39

SHALL BE ABLE to SEPARATE US FROM the LOVE OF GOD, [39] nor HEIGHT, nor DEPTH, nor ANY other CREATED THING, SHALL BE ABLE to SEPARATE US FROM the LOVE OF GOD, which is IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. Romans 8:26-39
