1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience, with a holy spirit, bearing joint witness for me
2 that I have great grief and incessant sorrow in my heart
3 [for I even I myself wished the followers of Christ to be devoted to destruction,] for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,
4 who are Israelites, to whom belonged the adoption and the glory, and the covenants, and the civil government, and the religious service, and the promises;
5 whose ancestors were the patriarchs, and from whom, with regard to flesh, the Christ is [descended] who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
