9 30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith; 9 31 but that Israel who pursued the righteousness which is based on law did not succeed in fulfilling that law. 9 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it through faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 9 33 [ Is.28.16. ] as it is written,

"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make men stumble,
a rock that will make them fall;
and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

10 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 10 2 I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. 10 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 10 4 For Christ is the end of the law, that everyone who has faith may be justified.
