It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,</span> <span id="en-ESV-28032" class="text Rom-4-25"><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.</span></p> <p><strong>What do you think? </strong><br> <strong>Comment on this episode at <a href="http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-413-25/">http://dailydevotionalpodcast.com/podcast/romans-413-25/</a>. </strong><br> <strong>Email me with comments, feedback, or prayer requests at <a href="mailto:dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com">dailydevotionalpodcast@gmail.com</a> and you can follow me on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/devotionpodcast">@devotionpodcast</a>.
