Romans 9:31-33
Contemporary English Version
Romans 9:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31-32 It also means that the people of Israel were not acceptable to God. And why not? It was because they were trying[a] to be acceptable by obeying the Law instead of by having faith in God. The people of Israel fell over the stone that makes people stumble, 33 (A) just as God says in the Scriptures,
“Look! I am placing in Zion
a stone to make people
stumble and fall.
But those who have faith
in that one will never
be disappointed.”
Footnotes
- 9.31,32 because they were trying: Or “while they were trying” or “even though they were trying.”
