Romans 9:30-33 - Israel's Present State
30 What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith; 31 but Israel who pursued the law of righteousness did not attain to the law of righteousness. 32 For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling, 33 as it is written; Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
