the stumbling block: Or “the offense.”—See study notes on Mt 13:57; 18:7.
the stumbling block of the torture stake: Jesus’ death on the torture stake was the basis for removing the Law. Paul and other Christians preached the message that faith in Christ’s sacrifice was the sole way to gain salvation. (Col 2:13, 14; see study note on Ga 5:1.) That message became a stumbling block, that is, a cause for offense, to Jews who insisted that circumcision and adherence to the Mosaic Law were essential for gaining God’s approval.—See study note on 1Co 1:23.
torture stake: Or “execution stake.”—See study note on 1Co 1:17.
