Romans 9:1-5 (Epistle)
- 1
- I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
- 2
- that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.
- 3
- For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,
- 4
- who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;
- 5
- of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
