Romans 9:30-32

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow righteousness, have attained righteousness, even the righteousness that is by faith;

³¹ but Israel, which followed the Law of righteousness, could not attain the Law of righteousness.

³² Why? Because they did not not seek it by faith, but by the works of the Law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone.
