Greek of the New Testament: τοὺς δὲ ἔξω ὁ θεὸς κρίνει ἐξάρατε τὸν πονηρὸν ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν

Hebrew (Masoretic text): יַד הָעֵדִים תִּהְיֶה בּוֹ בָרִאשֹׁנָה לַהֲמִיתוֹ וְיַד כָּל הָעָם בָּאַחֲרֹנָה וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִקִּרְבֶּךָ

Septuagint (Deuteronomy 17:7-8 in the Septuagint numbering): καὶ ἡ χεὶρ τῶν μαρτύρων ἴστ’ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἐν πρώτοις θανατῶσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπ’ ἔσχ’ τῶν· καὶ ἐξαρεῖς τὸν πονηρὸν ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν. Ἐὰν δὲ ἀδυνατήσῃ ἀπὸ σοῦ ῥῆμα ἐν κρίσει ἀνὰ μέσον αἷμα αἵματος, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον κρίσις κρίσεως, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἁφὴ ἁφῆς, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἀντιλογία ἀντιλογίας, ῥήματα κρίσεως ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν ὑμῶν· καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀναβήσῃ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκεῖ,

The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 5 consecutive words: “τὸν πονηρὸν ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν.”
