Go to Job 13:16

Paul uses without a formula the words of the Septuagint of Job 13:16: “this will turn out for me for salvation.”

See the original texts

Greek of the New Testament: οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν δεήσεως καὶ ἐπιχορηγίας τοῦ πνεύματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

Hebrew (Masoretic text): גַּם הוּא לִי לִישׁוּעָה כִּי לֹא לְפָנָיו חָנֵף יָבוֹא

Septuagint (Job 13:16 in the Septuagint numbering): καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν, οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται.

The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 5 consecutive words: “τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν.”
