30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, that is to say, the righteousness which is by faith, 31 and Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they followed it not by faith but, as it were, by the works (of the law); therefore, they stumbled on the stumblingstone;
33 as it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock that will cause some to fall, and whosoever believes in him shall not be ashamed.
1 Brethren, certainly the desire of my heart and my prayer to God regarding Israel, is for saving health. 2 For I give testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they, being ignorant of God’s righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law, to give righteousness to every one that believes.
