Romans 9:1

Verse 1 of 33. The 9th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.

1I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit

2that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

3For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh

4who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;

5of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
