In 1 Corinthians 1:20–25 Paul says that Christ crucified is “a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,” but to those who are called he is “the power of God and the wisdom of God.”

From your list the direct match is:
- stumbling block

(He also describes Christ as “foolishness” to Gentiles and as the “power” and “wisdom” of God; “cornerstone” is a biblical image used elsewhere, but not in this passage.)
