1 Peter 2:8

Context
2:8 and a stumbling-stone 1  and a rock to trip over. 2  They stumble 3  because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 4 

1 tn Grk “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” The latter phrase uses the term σκάνδαλον (skandalon), denoting an obstacle to faith, something that arouses anger and rejection.

2 sn A quotation from Isa 8:14.

3 tn Grk “who stumble,” referring to “those who do not believe” in vs. 7. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

4 tn Grk “to which they were also destined.”
