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

4the 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.
“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,”
“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?”
“who are Israelites. To whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God and the promises.”

“who are israelites to whom belongs the adoption as sons. And the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the temple service and the promises.”
5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.

6It is not as though God's word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
“But it is not as though the word of God has failed for they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel.”
“but it is not as though the Word of God has failed for they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel.”

7Nor because they are Abraham's descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, "Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned."

“That is, they which are the children of the flesh. These are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are counted for the seed.”
“That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.”

“That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.”
“That is those who are the children of the flesh. These are not the children of God, but the children of faith. The children of promise are counted as the seed.”

10Not only that, but Rebecca's children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
“And not only this, but there was Rebekah also when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac.”

“Not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac.”
“not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac,”
11Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's plan of election might stand,
“For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works but of him that calleth.”

“It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.”
“she was told, the older will serve the younger.”
“it was said unto her, the elder shall serve the younger.”
“It was said to her, the older will serve the younger.”
13So it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

“as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
“As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”
“As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”
“as it is written, Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated.”

“what shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid,”
