Israel did not attain righteousness because they pursued it by dead works, if you will, apart from faith in the righteousness that comes from God:\u00a0 For ignoring the righteousness <\/em>(\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>) that comes from God, <\/em>Paul wrote early in the next chapter, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, <\/em>(\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>) they did not submit to God\u2019s righteousness <\/em>(\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u1fc3<\/a>, another form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>).10<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

One more point of clarification before moving on:\u00a0 The Gentiles who did not pursue<\/em> (\u03b4\u03b9\u1f7d\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ce\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) righteousness<\/em> (\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>) before Paul preached the Gospel to them, did pursue it afterward, but not a law of righteousness<\/em> (except those he wrote to at Galatia<\/a> and Colossae<\/a> in order to correct that very error).\u00a0 Paul\u2019s instructions to the young Gospel preacher Timothy are helpful here: pursue<\/em> (\u03b4\u1f77\u03c9\u03ba\u03b5<\/a>, another form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ce\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) righteousness<\/em> (\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>) (e.g., the righteousness<\/em>\u00a0that comes from God<\/em>), godliness, faithfulness<\/em> (\u03c0\u1f77\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>), love<\/em> (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7<\/a>), endurance<\/em><\/a> (\u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd\u1f74\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd\u03ae<\/a>), and gentleness<\/em>11<\/sup><\/a> (\u03c0\u03c1\u03b1\u03cb\u03c0\u03b1\u03b8\u1f77\u03b1\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03c0\u03c1\u03b1\u03cb\u03c0\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1<\/a>);12<\/sup><\/a> and again, pursue<\/em> (\u03b4\u1f77\u03c9\u03ba\u03b5<\/a>, another form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ce\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) righteousness <\/em>(\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u1f7b\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>), faithfulness<\/em> (\u03c0\u1f77\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>), love<\/em> (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7<\/a>), and peace<\/em> (\u03b5\u1f30\u03c1\u1f75\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b5\u1f30\u03c1\u03ae\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>), in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart<\/em>.13<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 I note again how much of this flows directly from the Holy Spirit: the fruit of the Spirit is love<\/em> (\u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7<\/a>), joy, peace<\/em> (\u03b5\u1f30\u03c1\u03ae\u03bd\u03b7<\/a>), patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness<\/em> (\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>), gentleness<\/a> <\/em>(\u03c0\u03c1\u03b1\u1fe3\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2<\/a>), and self-control<\/em>. \u00a0Against such things there is no law <\/em>[Table<\/a>].14<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Look, I am laying a stone in Zion<\/em>, Isaiah wrote, an approved stone, set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation <\/em>[Table<\/a>]\u2026I will make justice the measuring line, fairness the plumb line\u2026<\/em>17<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 The rabbis who translated the Septuagint chose \u1f10\u03b3\u1f7c<\/a> \u1f10\u03bc\u03b2\u03b1\u03bb\u1ff6<\/a> (I throw<\/em>) a stone, which is quite evocative of Moses and the stone tablets of the law: When he approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses became extremely angry.\u00a0 He threw the tablets from his hands and broke them to pieces at the bottom of the mountain<\/em>.18<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Paul did not believe that the cornerstone for the foundation (\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03b9\u03b1<\/a>) stone (\u03bb\u03af\u03b8\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03bb\u03af\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) of Zion was the law. \u00a0He chose the word \u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a> (I will lay<\/em>) instead.<\/p>\n

For no one can lay<\/em> (\u03b8\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) any foundation<\/em> (\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) other than what is being laid, <\/em>Paul wrote the Corinthians, which is Jesus Christ<\/a><\/em>.19<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 And Jesus said, I am the good shepherd. \u00a0I know my own and my own know me<\/a> <\/em>[Table<\/a>] \u2013 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father \u2013 and I lay down<\/em> (\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) my life for the sheep\u2026This is why the Father loves me \u2013 because I lay down<\/em> (\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) my life, so that I may take it back again. \u00a0No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down<\/em> (\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down<\/em>\u00a0(\u03b8\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>), and I have the authority to take it back again.<\/em>20<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Then Paul alluded to Isaiah 8:14 [Table<\/a>]\u2014a stone that will cause people to stumble and a rock that will make them fall<\/em>\u2014but he didn\u2019t quote from the Septuagint.\u00a0 Indeed this is what the Lord told me, Isaiah wrote.\u00a0 He took hold of me firmly and warned me not to act like these people<\/em> (Isaiah 8:11-16 NET):<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not say, \u2018Conspiracy,\u2019 every time these people say the word.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid of what scares them; don\u2019t be terrified [Table<\/a>]. \u00a0You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies. \u00a0He is the one you must respect; he is the one you must fear. \u00a0He will become a sanctuary, but a stone that makes a person trip, and a rock that makes one stumble \u2013 to the two houses of Israel.\u00a0 He will become a trap and a snare to the residents of Jerusalem [Table<\/a>]. \u00a0Many will stumble over the stone and the rock, and will fall and be seriously injured, and will be ensnared and captured.\u201d \u00a0Tie up the scroll as legal evidence, seal the official record of God\u2019s instructions and give it to my followers.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Paul equated the stone the Lord would lay and the stone He would become to Jacob (the two houses of Israel<\/em>).\u00a0 Did the translators of the Septuagint make this connection?\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to say.\u00a0 They amended the text apparently to read, \u201cand ye shall not come against [him] as against a stumbling-stone, neither as against the falling of a rock.\u201d21<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Finally Paul concluded with, yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame<\/em><\/strong>, which is quite similar to the end of Isaiah 28:16 in the Septuagint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The differences here are subtle.\u00a0 The Septuagint \u201cuses the stronger negation, \u03bf\u1f50 \u03bc\u1f74<\/a>, whereas the NT uses the more normal weaker negation of merely, ‘\u03bf\u1f50<\/a>‘.\u201d22<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 The words \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c7\u03c5\u03bd\u03b8\u1fc7<\/a> and \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c7\u03c5\u03bd\u03b8\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a> are different forms of the same verb (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c7\u03cd\u03bd\u03c9<\/a>).\u00a0 \u201cThus, the difference here is only in regards to the mood and tense of the verb, having the aorist form and subjunctive mood in the LXX [Septuagint] and the future form and indicative mood in the NT.\u00a0 In the end since the subjunctive can be said to represent the verbal action (or state) as uncertain but probable (GGBB, 461), both Greek texts look forward to a future pleasant fulfillment\u00a0for those who trust in him.\u00a0 While the LXX’s subjunctive may be a bit weaker in force, do not forget the strong \u03bf\u1f50 \u03bc\u1f74 which precedes the subjunctive, thus putting away any doubt as to its completion.\u00a0 Both Greek texts follow the MT equally as well, and the sense is not changed by this variation.\u201d23<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Addendum\u00a0<\/strong>(6\/20\/2015): Jim Searcy<\/a> has published that the Septuagint is a hoax<\/a> written by Origen<\/a> and Eusebius<\/a> 200 hundred years after Christ.\u00a0 \u201cIn fact, the Septuagint \u2018quotes\u2019 from the New Testament and not vice versa\u2026\u201d\u00a0 His contention is that the \u201cKing James Version is the infallible Word of God.\u201d\u00a0 So, I\u2019ll re-examine the quotations above with the KJV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
