Romans

²⁸for the Lord will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short. ²⁹And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah. ³⁰What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith: ³¹but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. ³²Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ³³even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
