3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

3 for my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed—cut off from Christ!—if that would save them.

3 I wish I could be condemned and cut off from Christ for the sake of others who, like me, are Jewish by birth.

3 For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people, my kindred according to the flesh.

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,
