Romans 9:2

Grief

1 I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.

I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,

4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
