29. And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
30. What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
31. But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
32. Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
33. As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
