I Will Nullify the Intelligence of the Intelligent, with Chris Fresch: 1 Cor 1:19

<p class="MsoNormal">In 1 Cor. 1:19 Paul quotes from Isaiah 29:14. His Greek wording differs markedly from the Hebrew of the OT passage, but is close to the Greek version of Isaiah then in use (LXX, Septuagint) . . . and nods to Psalm 33:10. Why would Paul do this? Dr. Fresch also wrote a blog post on this issue: “<a title= "Original URL: https://koine-greek.com/2018/12/09/2013-11-17-paul-the-paraphraser-or-paul-the-septuagint-quoter/ Click to follow link." href= "https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkoine-greek.com%2F2018%2F12%2F09%2F2013-11-17-paul-the-paraphraser-or-paul-the-septuagint-quoter%2F&data=05%7C01%7Crebecca.a.larson%40wheaton.edu%7Cf8b31f85affc41c403a308db218efee7%7Cb7098c8ac6b24e8bba4c872cf5f00a20%7C0%7C0%7C638140670276078697%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WvnyVJxh3s7JdIVx1k%2FZvdoZKIsr25n0r%2FDdy0L5hvM%3D&reserved=0">Paul the Paraphraser or Paul the Septuagint Quoter?</a>” Dr. Chris Fresch is Lecturer in Biblical Languages and Old Testament at Bible College SA in Adelaide, South Australia.
