Goodspeed(i)
1 I am telling the truth as a Christian, it is no falsehood, for my conscience under the holy Spirit's influence bears me witness in it,
2 when I say that I am greatly pained and my heart is constantly distressed,
3 for I could wish myself accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my natural kindred.
4 For they are Israelites, and to them belong the rights of sonship, God's glorious presence, the divine agreements and legislation, the Temple service, the promises,
5 and the patriarchs, and from them physically Christ came—God who is over all be blessed forever! Amen.
