ગુજરાતીરોમનોને પત્ર ૯:૩૨
કેમ નહિ? કેમ કે તેઓ વિશ્વાસથી નહિ, પણ જાણે કે કરણીઓથી તેને શોધતાં હતા. તેઓએ ઠેસ ખવડાવનાર પથ્થરથી ઠોકર ખાધી;
हिन्दीरोमियों ९:३२
किस लिये? इसलिए कि वे विश्वास से नहीं, परन्तु मानो कर्मों से उसकी खोज करते थे: उन्होंने उस ठोकर के पत्थर पर ठोकर खाई।

In context

30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.

32Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

33even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
