Romans 9:26-33

[26] And  that in  the place  unto them,  are not  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  as  the sand  of the sea,  shall be saved:  [28] For  he will finish  the work,  and  cut it short  work  the Lord  make  upon  the earth.  [29] And  as  Esaias  the Lord  of Sabaoth  had left  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,  not  attained  to  the law  of righteousness.  [32] Because  they sought it not  by  faith,  but  as  it were by  the works  they stumbled  at that stumblingstone;  [33] As  it is written,  Behold,  I lay  in  Sion  a stumblingstone  and  rock  of offence:  and  believeth  on  him  not  be ashamed.
