Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; ASV: Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; BBE: Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way; DBY: Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, WEY: And why?

Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone; WEB: Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law.
