The King James Version Bible

Romans 9:1-5

  1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

  2. That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

  3. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

  4. Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

  5. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
