Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,

To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

Romans 9:31

while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Romans 9:32

And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
