Romans 9:31-33 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

KJC⁽ⁱ⁾ ³¹ But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. ³² Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; ³³ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offense: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
