Romans 9:25-33
-
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
-
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
-
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
-
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
-
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
-
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
-
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
-
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
-
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
