A.T. Robertson Commentary
"and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." — Romans 8:30 (ASV)
Called (εκαλεσεν)
--Justified (εδικαιωσεν)
--Glorified (εδοξασεν). All first aorist active indicatives of common verbs (καλεω, δικαιοω, δοξαζω). But the glorification is stated as already consummated (constative aorists, all of them), though still in the future in the fullest sense. "The step implied in εδοξασεν is both complete and certain in the Divine counsels" (Sanday and Headlam).
