Romans 9: 1 - 5
|
| 1
|
I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,
|
| 2
|
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
|
| 3
|
For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race.
|
| 4
|
They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;
|
| 5
|
to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.
