Romans 9:30-33 ▼

30 What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

33 even as it is written, |Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.|
