“What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.”
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith. — The paradox: the Gentiles, who did not pursue (διώκω, diōkō) δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē, "righteousness"), obtained it (κατελάβομεν, katelabomen, "attained") by faith. They stumbled upon what they were not seeking.
