Formula: λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή “for the Scripture says” (Romans 10:11)

See the original texts

Greek of the New Testament: λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται

Hebrew (Masoretic text): לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי יִסַּד בְּצִיּוֹן אָבֶן אֶבֶן בֹּחַן פִּנַּת יִקְרַת מוּסָד מוּסָּד הַמַּאֲמִין לֹא יָחִישׁ

Septuagint (Isaiah 28:16 in the Septuagint numbering): διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως λέγει Κύριος, Κύριος, ἐγὼ ἐμβαλῶ εἷς τὰ. θεμέλια Σιὼν λίθον πολυτελῆ ἐκλεκτὸν ἀκρογωνιαῖον ἔντιμον, εἷς τὸ, θεμέλια αὐτῆς, καὶ ὃ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὔ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 5 consecutive words: “ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὐ.”
