NASB: and, "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this [doom] they were also appointed. (NASB ©1995) GWT: a stone that people trip over, a large rock that people find offensive." The people tripped over the word because they refused to believe it. Therefore, this is how they ended up. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. ASV: and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. BBE: And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God. DBY: and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; who stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed. WEY: and "a Stone for the foot to strike against, and a Rock to stumble over." Their foot strikes against it because they are disobedient to God's Message, and to this they were appointed. WBS: And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed. WEB: and, "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. YLT: and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set; | |
