Romans 9:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ I am so concerned about my people, who are members of my own race. I am ready to be cursed, if that would help them. I am even willing to be separated from Christ. ⁴ They are the people of Israel. They have been adopted as God’s children. God’s glory belongs to them. So do the covenants. They received the law. They were taught to worship in the temple. They were given the promises. ⁵ The founders of our nation belong to them. The Messiah comes from their family line. He is God over all. May he always be praised! Amen.
