Romans 9:29-33
29
And as Isaiah predicted,
p q "If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
r we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah."
30
What shall we say, then? s That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, t a righteousness that is by faith;
31
but that Israel u who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness v did not succeed in reaching that law.
32
Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the w stumbling stone,
33
as it is written,
x "Behold, I am laying in Zion y a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
z and whoever believes in him will not be a put to shame."
