The New Testament Quoting the Old Testament Part 10

Some people don’t realize how often the Old Testament is quoted in the New Testament. I found this list on the internet and decided to write out the actual scriptures so you can read them for yourself. There are over 200 quotes, but I am only listing a few at a time.

Since beginning this list I have found several scriptures not lining up. I am glad I didn’t just post a list of scriptures without actually going through them like I am now by writing each of them out. I encourage you to always verify things before posting them because ultimately, you are responsible for the information you give, whether right or wrong. My goal is to help people connect the Old and New Testaments and realize you can’t have one without the other.

Quotes

Below is another set of scriptures that list the New Testament quoting the Old Testament. You can read individuals parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8 and Part 9) at any time. Or you can see all of them at a glance in the New Testament Quoting the Old Testament. The scriptures are paired below and written out below the table.

Blessed is He Whose Sin is Forgiven

By David. A maskil: How blessed are those whose offense is forgiven, those whose sin is covered! How blessed those to whom ADONAI imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit! Psalm 31:1-2

Keep Your Tongue from Evil

[If you do,] keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceiving talk; turn from evil, and do good; seek peace, go after it! The eyes of ADONAI watch over the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. But the face of ADONAI opposes those who do evil, to cut off all memory of them from the earth. [The righteous] cried out, and ADONAI heard, and he saved them from all their troubles. Psalm 34:13-17

For “Whoever wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit, turn from evil and do good, seek peace and chase after it. For ADONAI keeps his eyes on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers; but the face of ADONAI is against those who do evil things.” 1 Peter 3:10-12

Loved Righteousness and Hated Wickedness

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions. Your robes are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia; from ivory palaces stringed instruments bring you joy. Psalm 45:7-8

But to the Son, he says, “Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; you rule your Kingdom with a scepter of equity; 9 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.” Hebrews 1:8-9

Right in His Sayings

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil from your perspective; so that you are right in accusing me and justified in passing sentence. Psalm 51:4

Heaven forbid! God would be true even if everyone were a liar! – as the Tanakh says, “so that you, God, may be proved right in your words and win the verdict when you are put on trial.” Romans 3:4

Pay Back for Deeds

If you say, “We knew nothing about it, “won’t he who weighs hearts discern it? Yes, he who guards you will know it and repay each one as his deeds deserve. Proverbs 24:12

For he will pay back each one according to his deeds. Romans 2:6

Led Captives

“Awake, awake, D’vorah! Awake, awake, break into song! Arise, Barak! Lead away your captives, son of Avino’am! Judges 5:12

This is why it says, “After he went up into the heights, he led captivity captive and he gave gifts to mankind.”  Ephesians 4:8
