1
I am telling the truth in Christ--[I am] not lying; my conscience bears witness to me in the Holy Spirit--
2
that my grief is great and [there is] constant distress in my heart.
3
For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,
4
who are Israelites, [to] whom [belong] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the [temple] service, and the promises,
5
[to] whom [belong] the patriarchs, and from whom [is] the Christ according to human descent, who is God over all, blessed {forever}! Amen.
