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

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.

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,

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, ³³ as it is written,

²² What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience ^(A)vessels of wrath ^(B)prepared for destruction,

⁴ For ^(A)certain people ^(B)have crept in unnoticed ^(C)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert ^(D)the grace of our God into sensuality and ^(E)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

³ And ^(A)in their greed they will exploit you ^(B)with false words. ^(C)Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

⁹ For God has not destined us for ^(A)wrath, but ^(B)to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
