Besides the quotations introduced by these formulae there are a considerable number scattered through the writings of the apostles which are inserted in the trair of their own remarks without any announcement whatever of their being cited from others. To the cursory reader the passages thus quoted appear to form a part of the apostle's own words. and it is only by intimate acquaintance with the Old-Test. Scriptures, and a careful comparison of these with those of the New Test.. that the fact of their being quotations can be detected. In the common version every trace of quotation is in many of these passages lost, from the circumstance that the writer has closely followed the Sept., while our version of the Old Test. is made from the Hebrew. Thus for instance, in 2 Corinthians 8:21, Paul says, Προνοούμενοι Καλὰ Οὐ Μόνον Ἐνώπιον Κυρίου , Ἀλλὰ Καὶ Ἐνωπιον Ἀνθρώπων , which, with a change in the mood of the verb, is a verbatim citation of the Sept. version of Proverbs 3:4. Hardly any trace of this, however, appears in the common version, where the one passage reads, Providing for honest things not only in the sight of the Lord. but also in the sight of men;" and the other, "So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man." So, also, in 1 Peter 4:18, the apostle quotes word for word from the Sept. version of Proverbs 11:31 the clause Εἰ Ὁ Δίκαιος Μόλις Σώζεται , Ὁ Ἀσενὴς Καὶ Ἁ Copyright Statementthese Files Are Public Domain.
