‏ Romans 9:32-33

Summary for Rom 9:32-33: 9:32-33 ^a The great rock in their path is Christ. People either build on him by putting their faith in him, or they stumble over his message that faith, and not human works, is the key to getting right with God.
9:33 ^b This quotation is from Isa 8:14 ^c; 28:16 ^d. These two texts, along with Ps 118:22 ^e, are also quoted together in 1 Pet 2:6-8 ^f. The early church likely had a collection of messianic “stone” quotations from the Old Testament that they used to illuminate the significance of Christ (see also Matt 21:42 ^g).
