Romans 9:1-5

Living_Oracles(i) 1 I speak the truth in Christ, I do not speak falsely, my conscience bearing me witness, in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great grief and unceasing anguish, in my heart, 3 for my brethren, -my kinsmen, according to the flesh; (for I also was, myself, wishing to be accursed from Christ:) 4 who are Israelites; whose are the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the rites of service, and the promises; 5 whose are the fathers; and from whom the Messiah descended, according to the flesh; who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
