Romans 9:3

3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,

3For I could 9:3 Lit praywish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my countrymen, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

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

3For [if it were possible] I would wish that I myself were accursed, [separated, banished] from Christ for the sake [of the salvation] of my brothers, my natural kinsmen, [Ex 32:32]

3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,

3I am so concerned about my people, who are members of my own race. I am ready to be cursed, if that would help them. I am even willing to be separated from Christ.
