Romans 9:30, 31, 32, 33
Romans 9:30 NIV
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith
Romans 9:31 NIV
but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.
Romans 9:32 NIV
Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
