In context
1 I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
2 That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises:
5 Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel.
