Romans 9:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Israel’s Rejection of Christ

9 I speak the truth in Christ^(A)—I am not lying; my conscience is testifying to me with the Holy Spirit^[a]— ² that I have intense sorrow and continual anguish in my heart. ³ For I could almost wish^(B) to be cursed^(C) and cut off^[b] from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.
