Romans 9:25-26

9:25 As he also says in Hosea:

I will call those who were not my people,My people,and I will call her who was unloved,My beloved.’”

9:26And in the very place where it was said to them,You are not my people,

there they will be calledsons of the living God.’”

Romans 9:30-33

Israel’s Rejection Culpable

9:30 What shall we say then? – that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith, 9:31 but Israel even though pursuing a law of righteousness did not attain it. 9:32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, 9:33 just as it is written,

Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble

and a rock that will make them fall,

yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.
