they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed
them and that Rock was Christ. I

with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from
your vain conversation received by tradition from

foundation of the world, but was manifest in
these last times for you, I Peter

marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you,

shall be broken but on whomsoever it shall fall,
it will grind him to powder.

of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both
the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among
them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and
be snared, and be taken. Isaiah
814, 15
59Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith,
but as it were by the works of the law. For they
stumbled at that stumblingstone As it is
written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone
and rock of offence and whosoever believeth on
him shall not be ashamed.

stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks

but unto them which be disobedient, the stone
which the builders disallowed, the same is made
the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble
at the word, being disobedient whereunto also
they were appointed. I Peter 27, 8
