Romans 9:30-33
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then are we to say? Gentiles, who did not strive for righteousness, have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith,(A) 31 but Israel, who did strive for the law of righteousness, did not attain that law.(B) 32 Why not? Because they did not strive for it on the basis of faith but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,(C) 33 as it is written,
“See, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make people stumble, a rock that will make them fall,
and whoever trusts in him[a] will not be put to shame.”(D)

New American Standard Bible
30 (A)What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but (B)the righteousness that is [a]by faith; 31 however, Israel, (C)pursuing a law of righteousness, did not (D)arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it [b]by faith, but as though they could [c]by works. They stumbled over (E)the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written:
“(F)Behold, I am laying in Zion (G)a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
(H)And the one who believes in Him (I)will not be [d]put to shame.”
