Romans 9:30-10:4
New King James Version
Present Condition of Israel
30 What shall we say then? (A)That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, (B)even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel, (C)pursuing the law of righteousness, (D)has not attained to the law [a]of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, [b]by the works of the law. For (E)they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
(F)“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And (G)whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Israel Needs the Gospel
10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [c]Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness (H)that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of (I)God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own (J)righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For (K)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
