Romans 9:31-33

New Life Version

³¹ The Jews tried to be right with God by obeying the Law, but they did not become right with God. ³² Why? Because they did not put their trust in God. They tried to be right with God by working for it. They tripped over the most important Stone (Christ). ³³ The Holy Writings say, “See! I put in Jerusalem a Stone that people will trip over. It is a Rock that will make them fall. But the person who puts his trust in the Rock (Christ) will not be put to shame.” ^(A)
