Romans 9:3
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

וְעַתָּה אִם-תִּשָּׂא חַטָּאתָם וְאִם-אַיִן מְחֵנִי נָא מִֽסִּפְרְךָ אֲשֶׁר כָּתָֽבְתָּ׃
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
כִּי אֵֽיכָכָה אוּכַל וְֽרָאִיתִי בָּֽרָעָה אֲשֶׁר-יִמְצָא אֶת-עַמִּי וְאֵֽיכָכָה אוּכַל וְֽרָאִיתִי בְּאָבְדַן מֽוֹלַדְתִּֽי׃
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
εἴ πως παραζηλώσω μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ σώσω τινὰς ἐξ αὐτῶν
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν· γέγραπται γὰρ Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the to law do them.
εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἤτω ἀνάθεμα Μαρὰν ἀθά
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Λέγω οὖν μὴ ἀπώσατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ μὴ γένοιτο· καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ Ἰσραηλίτης εἰμί ἐκ σπέρματος Ἀβραάμ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לָבָן אַךְ עַצְמִי וּבְשָׂרִי אָתָּה וַיֵּשֶׁב עִמּוֹ חֹדֶשׁ יָמִֽים׃
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
וְהָֽיְתָה הָעִיר חֵרֶם הִיא וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר-בָּהּ לַֽיהוָה רַק רָחָב הַזּוֹנָה תִּֽחְיֶה הִיא וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר אִתָּהּ בַּבַּיִת כִּי הֶחְבְּאַתָה אֶת-הַמַּלְאָכִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלָֽחְנוּ׃
And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν ὑμῖν ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ἀπεστάλη
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει Ἀνάθεμα Ἰησοῦν καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται εἰπεῖν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν εἰ μὴ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל כֹּֽה-יַעֲשֶׂה אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יוֹסִף כִּי-מוֹת תָּמוּת יֽוֹנָתָֽן׃
And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
לֹֽא-תָלִין נִבְלָתוֹ עַל-הָעֵץ כִּֽי-קָבוֹר תִּקְבְּרֶנּוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּֽי-קִלְלַת אֱלֹהִים תָּלוּי וְלֹא תְטַמֵּא אֶת-אַדְמָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַֽחֲלָֽה׃
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα γέγραπται γὰρ Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Ὡς δὲ ἐπληροῦτο αὐτῷ τεσσαρακονταετὴς χρόνος ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπισκέψασθαι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נִגַּשׂ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאֶל שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יֹאכַל לֶחֶם עַד-הָעֶרֶב וְנִקַּמְתִּי מֵאֹיְבַי וְלֹֽא-טָעַם כָּל-הָעָם לָֽחֶם׃
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἢ ἄγγελος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εὐαγγελίζηται ὑμῖν παρ' ὃ εὐηγγελισάμεθα ὑμῖν ἀνάθεμα ἔστω
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
