Romans 9:32 in Context — Romans 9

30 Que dirons-nous donc? Les païens, qui ne cherchaient pas la justice, ont obtenu la justice, la justice qui vient de la foi,

31 tandis qu’Israël, qui cherchait une loi de justice, n’est pas parvenu à cette loi.

32 Pourquoi? Parce qu’Israël l’a cherchée, non par la foi, mais comme provenant des œuvres. Ils se sont heurtés contre la pierre d’achoppement,

33 selon qu’il est écrit: Voici, je mets en Sion une pierre d’achoppement Et un rocher de scandale, Et celui qui croit en lui ne sera point confus.
