In this case, those who "stumble," or sin, are those who reject Paul's message and persecute Paul.

In this case the "stumbling block of the cross" is the teaching that people are saved by "the cross" and not by the obeying the law. People who choose to believe that salvation comes by obeying the law are offended by this teaching. They "stumble" when they reject the teaching about the cross.
