Romans 9:30-32

International Children’s Bible

³⁰ So what does all this mean? It means this: the non-Jews were not trying to make themselves right with God. But they were made right with God because of their faith. ³¹ And the people of Israel tried to follow a law to make themselves right with God. But they did not succeed, ³² because they tried to make themselves right by the things they did. They did not trust in God to make them right. They fell over the stone that causes people to fall.
