Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁰ What then shall we say? That the gentiles, who did not strive after righteousness, obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith; ³¹ while Israel, which strove after a law of righteousness, did not attain to a law of righteousness. ³² Why? Because they did not strive for it by faith, but as being by works. For they stumbled against the stone of stumbling; ³³ as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame."
