Romans 9:25-33

25As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved. 26And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living 1God. 27But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved: 28for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth. 29And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha. 30What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith. 31But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law. 32Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, 33according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
