45:009:024 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also

45:009:025 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which

us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
Gomorrha.

45:009:031 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
45:009:032 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were
by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that
stumblingstone;
