Romans 9:30-33 Therefore what shall we say? That the Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, grabbed righteousness, even the righteousness from faith.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁰ Therefore what shall we say? That the Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, grabbed righteousness, even the righteousness from faith. ³¹ But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain that law of righteousness. ³² Why? Because it was not from the faith, but as it was from works of the law, for they stumbled on the stone of stumbling; ³³ just-as it has been written, ‘Behold, I place a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense in Zion and everyone who believes on him will not be ashamed.’
