# A stone of stumbling and a rock that makes them fall
These two phrases share similar meanings. Together they emphasize that people will take offense at this "stone," which refers to Jesus. AT: "a stone or a rock over which people will stumble" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# stumble because they disobey the word
Here "the word" refers to the gospel message. To disobey means that they do not believe. "stumble because they are not believing the message about Jesus"
# which is what they were appointed to do
This can be stated in active form. AT: "for which God also appointed them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
