## Translation Suggestions ##
|
|
|
|
* In contexts where the term "stumble" means to physically trip over something, it should be translated with a term that means "almost fall" or "trip over."
|
|
* This literal meaning could also be used in a figurative context, if it communicates the correct meaning in that context.
|
|
* For figurative uses where the literal meaning would not make sense in the project language, "stumble" could be translated as, "sin" or "falter" or "stop believing" or "become weak," depending [sin](../kt/sin.md)on the context.
|
|
* Another way to translate this term could be, "stumble by sinning" or "stumble by not believing."
|
|
* The phrase "made to stumble" could be translated as "caused to become weak" or "caused to falter."
