Romans 9:30-33

Young's Literal Translation

³⁰ What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,

³¹ and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

³² wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

³³ according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
