Study Note
'For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers' — the purpose clause reveals the goal of predestination: not merely heaven but conformation to the image of the Son, reframing election teleologically as christomorphic transformation. The 'foreknew' (proegnō) is interpreted variously as God's prior relational knowing (not merely cognitive foreknowledge) — drawing on the Old Testament relational use of 'know' (Amos 3:2; Jeremiah 1:5) — or as simple divine prescience. The phrase 'firstborn among many brothers' (prōtotokon en pollois adelphois) presents the resurrection of Jesus as the inaugurating event of a new corporate humanity, making his resurrection the prototype for the promised resurrection of all who are 'in him.' The verse belongs to the golden chain of Romans 8:29–30 and grounds the believer's certainty in a predestination whose goal is christological conformity.
