just as it is written,
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

And David says,
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
And a stumbling block and a retribution to them.

Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way.
