Lack of faith in Israel

30 So what did all this mean? This means that; Non-Jews who were not trying to be righteous were made righteous. They became righteous because of their faith.
Romans 9:30

31 And the people of Israel accepted the law to make themselves righteous, but they did not do it.
Romans 9:31

32 Why? Because they were trying to be righteous by their actions, not by faith. They get stuck on the rocks that cause people to stumble.
Romans 9:32

33 The Scriptures say of this stone, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble, and it is a rock that causes people to sin, but the person who believes in that rock will not be disappointed. ”
Romans 9:33

God’s wrath and mercy

19 Then one of you will ask me, “If God is the one who does all the work we do, why does he blame God for our sins?”
Romans 9:19

20 Don’t ask. Because you are only human. Humans do not have the right to argue with God. A creature cannot ask its creator, “Why did you make me like this?”
Romans 9:20

21 A potter who makes pots makes different kinds of pots according to his will for different purposes with the same clay. He can make some for special use and some for general use.
Romans 9:21

22 In the same way, God has done. God wanted to show his anger so that people could see his power. God patiently endured those who were angry and prepared for destruction.
Romans 9:22

23 God endured them patiently, so that he might tell people about his rich glory. He wanted to give this glory to those who receive his favor. God had prepared those people for his glory.
Romans 9:23

24 We are God’s people. God called us to the Jews and to the nations.
Romans 9:24

25 As it is written in the book of Hosea, I will say that they which are not mine are my people; and I will say that those whom I have not loved are those whom I have loved.
Romans 9:25

26 And in that same place he said, ‘You are not my people.’
Romans 9:26

27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Even though the people of Israel are like the sand of the sea in number, only a few of them will be saved.
Romans 9:27

28 Yes, because the Lord will judge the people of the earth quickly and completely. ”
Romans 9:28

29 As Isaiah goes on to say: “The Most High Lord saved some of his people for us. If he had not done so, we would have become like Sodom and go astray.”
Romans 9:29
