For I could wish
that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my
people, those of my own race, the people of Israel. Theirs is the
adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the
receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are
the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the
Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
theirs the divine glory
Hebrews 9:5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
the covenants
Genesis 17:1-2 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers."
Deuteronomy 4:13 He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he had commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
Acts 3:25 "And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all the peoples on earth will be blessed.' " (Genesis 22:18; 26:4)
Ephesians 2:12 ... remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.
the receiving of the law
Psalm 147:19-20 He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD.
the temple worship
Hebrews 9:1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
