I noticed in the course of reading the Pauline corpus for the Lenten Greek
Reading Group that he seems to almost slavishly follow the LXX. He may omit
a word or two from time to time, but the text he uses is fairly consistently
the LXX. I would therefore tend to discount his "making his own translation
of the Hebrew scriptures."
