nSee 1 Pet. 2:8
Mark 6:18-20
18 aFor John had been saying to Herod, b“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 19And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20for Herod cfeared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he dheard him gladly.John 7:34
34 eYou will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”John 8:21
21So he said to them again, f“I am going away, and gyou will seek me, and hyou will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”John 13:33
33Little children, iyet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just jas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’Romans 9:31-33
31but that Israel kwho pursued a law that would lead to righteousness ▼▼Greek a law of righteousness
mdid not succeed in reaching that law. 32Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the nstumbling stone, 33as it is written, o“Behold, I am laying in Zion pa stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
qand whoever believes in him will not be rput to shame.”
Romans 10:3
3For, being ignorant of sthe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
