Dear Philip,
No for both 1 & 2.
1. Habakkuk 2:4b LXX is quoted 3x in the NT, Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11 and
Hebrews 10:38. Paul is quite conversant in quoting from Genesis, Deuteronomy,
Psalms and Isaiah.
2. Psalm 40:6-8 is quoted in Hebrews 10:5-7, then exegeted in 10:8-10. In
fact, the author of Hebrews uses numerous quotes from the LXX especially
Genesis, Psalms and Isaiah.
En Xristwi,
Rev. Bryant J. Williams III

Greek New Testament Books—Romans, Galatians & Hebrews. True or false?

> 2. LXX Psalm 40:7b (“sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body
has thou prepared for me”), forms the basis for the incarnatory sacrificial
theme of the entire GNT (Greek New Testament) book of Hebrews. True or false?
