This is a question on strict chronology and/or strict
sequence.

Romans' section is

hOTI hOUS PROEGNW KAI PROWRISE SUMMORFOUS THS EIKONOS
TOU hUIOU AUTOU EIS TO EINAI AUTON PRWTOTOKON EN
POLLOIS ADELFOIS

hOUS DE PROWRISE TOUTOUS KAI EKALESE KAI hOUS EKALESE
TOUTOUS KAI EDIKAIWSEN hOUS DE EDIKAIWSE TOUTOUS KAI
EDOXASE

Based on this passage, are we to understand that the
writer is setting out to show the proper
sequence/chronology of the believer's entire salvific
experience: That God...

First: Foreknows
Next:  Predestinates
Third: Calls
Next:  Justifies
Next:  Glorifies

Such that God first foreknows X, then he predestinates
X, then he calls X, et cetera.

Or, if not a chronology/sequence, what are we to make
of this string of verbs? Does verse 30 take up where
verse 29 leaves off (predestinate)?
