28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness; because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

32 Wherefore they stumbled at that stumbling stone, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense; and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
