9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
