Romans 9:24-33

24even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25As He says also in Hosea: “I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved.”

26“And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

27Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

28For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”

29And as Isaiah said before: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”

30What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;

31but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

32Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.

33As it is written: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
