9:33 πας ¦ — CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
9:33 This quotation is from Isa 8:14; 28:16. These two texts, along with Ps 118:22, are also quoted together in 1 Pet 2:6-8. The early church likely had a collection of messianic “stone” quotations from the Old Testament that they used to illuminate the significance of Christ (see also Matt 21:42).
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
καθὼς γέγραπται
as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written
See how you translated this phrase in [1:17].
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καθὼς γέγραπται
as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the quotation was written by the prophet Isaiah and God is the person speaking. Alternate translation: [just as Isaiah wrote] or [just as God said through Isaiah]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

behold ˱I˲_/am/_laying in Zion /a/_stone ˱of˲_stumbling and /a/_rock ˱of˲_offense and the_‹one› believing in him not /will_be_being/_disgraced
This sentence is Paul’s paraphrase of parts of Isaiah 8:14 and 28:16. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Paul quotes Isaiah using the term Behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation.
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
τίθημι
˱I˲_/am/_laying
In this quotation from the Old Testament, I refers to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [I, God, place]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν Σιὼν
in Zion
Here, Zion refers to the city of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [in Jerusalem]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
λίθον προσκόμματος, καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου & αὐτῷ
/a/_stone ˱of˲_stumbling and /a/_rock ˱of˲_offense & him
Here, stone of stumbling, rock of offense, and it refer to Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a person who will be like a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense] or [a person who will cause people to stumble and will offend them]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
λίθον προσκόμματος, καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου
/a/_stone ˱of˲_stumbling and /a/_rock ˱of˲_offense
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize how offensive the Messiah would be to the Jews. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [a stone that causes great offense]
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
λίθον προσκόμματος
/a/_stone ˱of˲_stumbling
See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.
Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
πέτραν σκανδάλου
/a/_rock ˱of˲_offense
Paul is using the possessive form to describe a rock that causes offense. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the rock that causes offense]
Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
σκανδάλου
˱of˲_offense
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of offense, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [that offends]
