Romans 9:29-33

Riverside(i) 29 Even as Isaiah predicted, "Unless the Lord of armies had left us some descendants, we should have become like Sodom and should have been made to resemble Gomorrah." 30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained righteousness, the righteousness of faith, 31 but Israel pursuing after the Law of righteousness did not attain to the Law. 32 Why? Because they pursued it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over that stumbling stone, 33 as it is written, "See, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock to trip over, but he who has faith in him will never be put to shame."
