Romans 9:30-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁰ What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.

³¹ But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.

³² Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.

³³ As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
