I could wish myself accursed and cut off from the Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.
In context
1I am telling the truth in Christ—I am not lying—and my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit: 2there is great sorrow in me, and a pain in my heart that never lets up. 3I could wish myself accursed and cut off from the Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood. 4They are Israelites. Theirs is the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, the promises. 5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them, as to the flesh, came the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
