Romans 9:29-31

New Testament for Everyone

²⁹ As Isaiah said in an earlier passage,

Israel, the nations and the Messiah

³⁰ What then shall we say? That the nations, who were not aspiring towards covenant membership, have obtained covenant membership, but it is a covenant membership based on faith. ³¹ Israel meanwhile, though eager for the law which defined the covenant, did not attain to the law.
