Romans 9:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ What can we say, then? Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, have attained righteousness, a righteousness that comes through faith. ³¹ But Israel, who pursued righteousness based on the Law, did not achieve the Law. ³² Why not? Because they did not pursue it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on achievements. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble.
