How would listers describe the differences between Pauline Greek (say Galatians and Colossians) and that used by the author of Hebrews? Does the latter by virtue of its subject matter draw more on Septuagintal terminology? Of course both authors were using the Greek of their day and their vocabulary should be found in contemporaeous papyrus documents. But might Hebrews be expected to draw more heavily from the LXX pool than the Paulines ?
