Are all the high-lightened verbs in the passage below in aorist?

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (Rom. 8:29-30)

Short Answer: Yes, all of the verbs are aorist.


In fact, they are all identical in all of the following ways:

Part of Speech: Verb
Tense: Aorist
Mood: Indicative
Voice: Active
Person: 3rd Person
Number: Singular


Here they are, for reference:

  • προέγνω (he foreknew)

  • προώρισεν (he predestined)

  • προώρισεν (he predestined #2)

  • ἐκάλεσεν (he called)

  • ἐκάλεσεν (he called #2)

  • ἐδικαίωσεν (he justified)

  • ἐδικαίωσεν (he justified #2)

  • ἐδόξασεν (he glorified)

many speak of 'glorified' as already done in the mind of God. each of these acts are already done in the mind of God. other verses use other terms ... verbs speaking of salvation and arrange them in different orders. such texts are not presented as 'steps from a - z in the great work of salvation'. 2 Tim 1:9 for example.
