Romans 9:3 CPDV

¹  I am speaking the truth in Christ; I am not lying. My conscience offers testimony to me in the Holy Spirit,

²  because the sadness within me is great, and there is a continuous sorrow in my heart.

³  For I was desiring that I myself might be anathemized from Christ, for the sake of my brothers, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh.

⁴  These are the Israelites, to whom belongs adoption as sons, and the glory and the testament, and the giving and following of the law, and the promises.

⁵  Theirs are the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all things, blessed God, for all eternity. Amen.
