Romans 8:28

...and we knew that with the (people) loving God, God works-together everything into good, with the (people) being called according to purpose.

In these verses Paul explains that…

·       with the people who are loving God (Godly-loving Him; Greek verb agapao),

o   God works-together (God is doing work, producing effects in conjunction with those who love Him with His kind of love; we are co-workers; God is jointly expending energy together with the people loving Him, regarding)

§  everything (all – the object being worked is every single thing that God and those who love Him are working together – this is not referring to anything else that we are not working together)

§  into good (for the purpose of, with a view to, directed to and resulting in that-which is good, a good-thing, that-which issues from God; God is the One Who issues His goodness and He sets the standard for what is good and to be conformed to by those who love Him),

·       emphatically and specifically with the people who are being called (invited people, those given the invitation, the invitees)

o   according to purpose (in accordance, conformity, and proportion to/with God’s proposal, what God purposed beforehand, that-which He put or set before Himself to do in advance of it actually occurring, His plan).
