— Romans 9:32, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;”
“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; ”
“Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;”
“Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but(as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,”
“Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.”
“Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way;”

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
