23 ^rThen if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For ^sfalse christs and ^tfalse prophets will arise and ^uperform great signs and wonders, ^vso as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, ^wI have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, ^xhe is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.

31 but that Israel ^ywho pursued a law that would lead to righteousness ^{▼▼Greek a law of righteousness} ^aadid not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the ^abstumbling stone, 33 as it is written,

^ac“Behold, I am laying in Zion ^ada stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
^aeand whoever believes in him will not be ^afput to shame.”
