Romans 9:1-5 ▼

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

2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

5 Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
