|---|---|---|
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
|
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
|
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
