Romans 9:1-5

Romans 9:1-5 CSB

I speak the truth in Christ   #— #I am not lying; my conscience testifies to me through the Holy Spirit   #— # that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish  that I myself were cursed  and cut off  from Christ for the benefit of my brothers and sisters, my own flesh and blood. They are Israelites,  and to them belong the adoption,  the glory,  the covenants,  the giving of the law,  the temple service,  and the promises.  The ancestors are theirs,  and from them, by physical descent,  came the Christ,  who is God  over all,  praised forever.  , Amen.
