(25) And we know that (l) all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] (m) purpose.
(25) Eighthly, we are not afflicted, either by chance or to our harm, but by God's providence for our great profit: who as he chose us from the beginning, so has he predestined us to be made similar to the image of his Son: and therefore will bring us in his time, being called and justified, to glory, by the cross.
(l) Not only afflictions, but whatever else.
(m) He calls that "purpose" which God has from everlasting appointed with himself, according to his good will and pleasure.
