# stone of stumbling and a rock of offense

These phrases mean basically the same thing and are metaphors that refer to Jesus and his death on the cross. It was as if the people stumbled over a stone because they were disgusted when they considered Jesus' death on the cross. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# believes in it

Because the words "stone" and "rock" are a metaphors for a person, you may need to translate this as "believes in him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
