Romans 9:1-5 ▼

1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,

2 That I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart;

3 for I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh;

4 who are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

5 to whom belong the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, as it respects the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
