Daily Bible Nugget #660, Romans 8:28

The Nugget:

Rom 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (KJV)

Rom 8:28 Yes, we know that all things go on working together for the good of those who keep on loving God, who are called in accordance with God’s purpose. (Williams NT)

My Comment:

Romans 8:28 is a verse of encouragement that is well worth the effort to study in greater depth. I believe one of the best ways to study this verse in depth is to consult the cross references given in The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and my expansion and correction of that early nineteenth century work, The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. I have now expanded what is in the New Treasury in my Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury.
