Romans 9:31
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
In context
29 It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30 What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32 Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
