¹⁴ And he will become a ^(A)sanctuary and ^(B)a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And ^(A)the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and ^(B)when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”^[a]

³² Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the ^(A)stumbling stone,

²³ but we preach Christ ^(A)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,

⁷ So the honor is for you who ^(A)believe, but for those who ^(B)do not believe,

⁸ and

They stumble because they disobey the word, ^(E)as they were destined to do.
