Israel’s Rejection of Christ

1 I atell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,  
2 athat I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.  
3 For aI could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my1 countrymen according to the flesh,  
4 who are Israelites, ato whom pertain the adoption, bthe glory, cthe covenants, dthe giving of the law, ethe service of God, and fthe promises;  
5 aof whom are the fathers and from bwhom, according to the flesh, Christ came, cwho is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.  

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose

6 aBut it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For bthey are not all Israel who are of Israel,  
7 anor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, b“In Isaac your seed shall be called.”

Romans 9:2

I have great sorrow - A high degree of spiritual sorrow and of spiritual Joy may consist together, Romans 8:39. By declaring his sorrow for the unbelieving Jews, who excluded themselves from all the blessings he had enumerated, he shows that what he was now about to speak, he did not speak from any prejudice to them.
