Romans 9:1-5
God’s Sovereign Choice
aI am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For aI could wish that I myself were baccursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen caccording to the flesh. 4 They are aIsraelites, and to them belong bthe adoption, cthe glory, dthe covenants, ethe giving of the law, fthe worship, and gthe promises. 5 To them belong athe patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, bwho is God over all, cblessed forever. Amen.
