Romans 9:31-33

Revised Geneva Translation

³¹ but Israel, which followed the Law of righteousness, could not attain the Law of righteousness.

³² Why? Because they did not not seek it by faith, but by the works of the Law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone.

³³ As it is written: “Behold, I lay a stumbling stone in Zion; an ensnaring rock. And everyone who believes in Him, shall not be ashamed.”
