You can't center element using offsets on odd column sizes. Check this answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18153234/center-a-column-using-twitter-bootstrap-3. So use `col-sm-8` or `col-sm-6` if you don't want to write custom css. — Jakob, Sep 07 '16 at 09:56

I'm struggling to understand your issue... You want the div centered or the text? :| — Option, Sep 07 '16 at 11:45
The offset you have is right but the content won't center.. Why not try adding `text-align: center;` to your .clsborder class? — Option, Sep 07 '16 at 11:52

The offset and the column must add up to 12 columns.

Use the formula:

12 - col-sm-# / 2

replace hashtag to A number.

If the number has decimals you can not offset it.

8 columns is alright with an offset of 2

If it doesn't work try centering using css

thank for answer .. but your answer not worked .. i mast be use col-sm-7 then div center using offset – Sumit patel Sep 07 '16 at 11:11
@Sumitpatel Then it's just not possible with plain bootstrap. There is not col-sm-offset-2.5 in bootstrap. Maybe just add your own class with corresponding margins and / or paddings? – Lorenz Merdian Sep 07 '16 at 11:30

I found my Answer guides ... Use in @media query and build custom Offset

@media (min-width: 768px)
{
.custom-offset {
    margin-left:21% !important;
}
}

Updated Code below

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Bootstrap Example</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<style>
.clsborder{
  border:1px solid black;

}
@media (min-width: 768px)
{
.custom-offset {
    margin-left:21% !important;
}
}


</style>
<body>


  
<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-7 col-sm-offset-2 clsborder">  <h3>Column 1</h3>
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit...</p>
