Romans 9:30-33 - Israel's Present State
30 What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith. 31 And Israel following the law of justice, reached not the law of justice. 32 Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone; 33 As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.
