The Greek text is available online to subscribers of TLG (about $100/yr
for individuals, but your local university library may be a subscriber).

The question is a little confusing since both Codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus
were used in Greek churches and it seems to assume that the NT text-types
correspond to those of the LXX (they don't), but I believe that Brenton's
edition of the LXX from 1851 and commonly reprinted (by, e.g., Hendrickson's)
is based on Codex Alexandrinus.  Scholarly work with the LXX, of course,
uses an edition such as Rahlfs or Goettingen.
