Romans 9:32

Διὰ τί; Ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ' ὡς ἐξ ἔργων νόμου· προσέκοψαν γὰρ τῷ λίθῳ τοῦ προσκόμματος,
Dia ti; Oti oyk ek pisteōs, all' ōs ex ergōn nomoy· prosekopsan gar tō lithō toy proskommatos,
King James Version (KJV)

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Modern English

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
