Romans 9:30-33

30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;

31but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.

32Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.

33As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
