Romans 9:2

Verse 2 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.

6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
