Romans 9:1-5 ▼

1 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,

2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,

3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;

4 who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;

5 whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
