Romans 9:1-5
The tragedy of Israel’s unbelief
9 I’m speaking the truth in Christ—I’m not lying, as my conscience assures me with the Holy Spirit: 2 I have great sadness and constant pain in my heart. 3 I wish I could be cursed, cut off from Christ if it helped my brothers and sisters, who are my flesh-and-blood relatives. 4 They
are Israelites. The adoption as God’s children, the glory, the
covenants, the giving of the Law, the worship, and the promises belong
to them. 5 The
Jewish ancestors are theirs, and the Christ descended from those
ancestors. He is the one who rules over all things, who is God, and who
is blessed forever. Amen.
