Greetings! Here is what Dr. A. T. Robertson said about this question: "But no O.T. passage is precisely like this, though it is “a poetical rendering” (Ropes) of Exo_20:5. The general thought occurs also in Gen_6:3-5; Isa_63:8-16, etc. Paul has the same idea also (Gal_5:17, Gal_5:21; Rom_8:6, Rom_8:8). It is possible that the reference is really to the quotation in Jam_4:6 from Pro_3:34 and treating all before as a parenthesis. There is no way to decide positively." It was common for those in the first century to quote thoughts rather than exact words. So, the New Testament often alludes to passages rather than directly quoting them. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
