Derived from pp. 800-804 of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th edition (Novum Testamentum: Graece et Latine<\/i>, published by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft; see the\u00a0web page\u00a0<\/a>from Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin, which reproduced the list. I have also added my own suggested comparisons and possible parallels; these will be reproduced in\u00a0green<\/span>\u00a0(NT); otherwise NT passages listed in Nestle-Aland will be in\u00a0blue<\/span>, and deuterocanonical passages in\u00a0red<\/span>. Alleged references listed by verse only at the end were deemed (by myself) dissimilar and questionable or non-convincing enough to not reproduce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [Bible passages were retrieved from the\u00a0RSV Bible, with Apocrypha<\/a>, from the University of Virginia\u00a0Electronic Text Center<\/a>]<\/p>\n I get a lot of requests for a list of the references the New Testament makes to the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, giving a list is not such a simple affair since it is not always obvious whether something is a genuine reference.Hebrews 11:35 is an indisputable reference to 2 Maccabees 7, but many are not so clear as there may be only a single phrase that echoes one in a deuterocanonical book (and this may not be obvious in the translation, but only the original languages).<\/p>\n This is the same with New Testament references to the protocanonical books of the Old Testament. How many New Testament references there are to the Old Testament depends in large measure on what you are going to count as a reference.<\/p>\n As a result, many scholarly works simply give an enormous catalogue of all\u00a0proposed<\/i>\u00a0references and leave it to the individual interpreter to decide whether a given reference is actual or not.<\/p>\n I will follow the same procedure . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So will I. This project is not, strictly-speaking, an exercise in apologetics, but rather, an aid in Bible study or a Bible \u201creference\u201d tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n PHILIPPIANS<\/span><\/p>\n 1a) Philippians 4:13<\/span><\/p>\n I can do all things in him who strengthens me.<\/p>\n 1b) Wisdom 7:23<\/span><\/p>\n beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent and pure and most subtle.<\/p>\n 2a) Philippians 4:18<\/span><\/p>\n I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi\u2019tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God<\/p>\n 2b) Sirach 35:6<\/span><\/p>\n The offering of a righteous man anoints the altar, and its pleasing odor rises before the Most High.<\/p>\n COLOSSIANS<\/span><\/p>\n 1a) Colossians 2:3<\/span><\/p>\n in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.<\/p>\n 1b) Sirach 1:25<\/span><\/p>\n In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.<\/p>\n 1 THESSALONIANS<\/span><\/p>\n 1a) 1 Thessalonians 3:11<\/span><\/p>\n Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you;<\/p>\n 1b) Judith 12:8<\/span><\/p>\n When she came up from the spring she prayed the Lord God of Israel to direct her way for the raising up of her people.<\/p>\n 2a) 1 Thessalonians 4:13<\/span><\/p>\n But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.<\/p>\n 2b) Wisdom 3:18<\/span><\/p>\n If they die young, they will have no hope and no consolation in the day of decision.<\/p>\n 3a) 1 Thessalonians 5:1<\/span><\/p>\n But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.<\/p>\n 3b) Wisdom 8:8<\/span><\/p>\n And if any one longs for wide experience, she knows the things of old, and infers the things to come; she understands turns of speech and the solutions of riddles; she has foreknowledge of signs and wonders and of the outcome of seasons and times.<\/p>\n 4a) 1 Thessalonians 5:3<\/span><\/p>\n When people say, \u201cThere is peace and security,\u201d then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.<\/p>\n 4b) Wisdom 17:14-15<\/span><\/p>\n But throughout the night, which was really powerless, and which beset them from the recesses of powerless Hades, they all slept the same sleep, 15: and now were driven by monstrous specters, and now were paralyzed by their souls\u2019 surrender, for sudden and unexpected fear overwhelmed them.<\/p>\n 5a) 1 Thessalonians 5:8<\/span><\/p>\n But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.<\/p>\n 5b) Wisdom 5:18<\/span><\/p>\n he will put on righteousness as a breastplate, and wear impartial justice as a helmet;<\/p>\n 1a) 2 Thessalonians 2:1<\/span><\/p>\n Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren,<\/p>\n 1b) 2 Maccabees 2:7<\/span><\/p>\n When Jeremiah learned of it, he rebuked them and declared: \u201cThe place shall be unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows his mercy.<\/p>\n 1 TIMOTHY<\/span><\/p>\n 1a) 1 Timothy 1:17<\/span><\/p>\n To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.

When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,<\/p>\n 1b) Wisdom 7:26<\/span><\/p>\n For she is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness.<\/p>\n 2a) Hebrews 4:12<\/span><\/p>\n For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.<\/p>\n 2b) Wisdom 18:16 (see also Wisdom 7:22-30)<\/span><\/p>\n carrying the sharp sword of thy authentic command, and stood and filled all things with death, and touched heaven while standing on the earth.<\/p>\n 3a) Hebrews 5:6<\/span><\/p>\n as he says also in another place, \u201cThou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz\u2019edek.\u201d<\/p>\n 3b) 1 Maccabees 14:41<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd the Jews and their priests decided that Simon should be their leader and high priest for ever, until a trustworthy prophet should arise,<\/p>\n 4a) Hebrews 7:22<\/span><\/p>\n This makes Jesus the surety of a better covenant.<\/p>\n 4b) Sirach 29:14-19<\/span><\/p>\n A good man will be surety for his neighbor, but a man who has lost his sense of shame will fail him. 15: Do not forget all the kindness of your surety, for he has given his life for you. 16: A sinner will overthrow the prosperity of his surety, 17: and one who does not feel grateful will abandon his rescuer. 18: Being surety has ruined many men who were prosperous, and has shaken them like a wave of the sea; it has driven men of power into exile, and they have wandered among foreign nations. 19: The sinner who has fallen into suretyship and pursues gain will fall into lawsuits.<\/p>\n 5a) Hebrews 11:5<\/span><\/p>\n By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him.

Though she saw her seven sons perish within a single day, she bore it with good courage because of her hope in the Lord. 21: She encouraged each of them in the language of their fathers. Filled with a noble spirit, she fired her woman\u2019s reasoning with a man\u2019s courage, and said to them, 22: \u201cI do not know how you came into being in my womb. It was not I who gave you life and breath, nor I who set in order the elements within each of you. 23: Therefore the Creator of the world, who shaped the beginning of man and devised the origin of all things, will in his mercy give life and breath back to you again, since you now forget yourselves for the sake of his laws.\u201d 24: Antiochus felt that he was being treated with contempt, and he was suspicious of her reproachful tone. The youngest brother being still alive, Antiochus not only appealed to him in words, but promised with oaths that he would make him rich and enviable if he would turn from the ways of his fathers, and that he would take him for his friend and entrust him with public affairs. 25: Since the young man would not listen to him at all, the king called the mother to him and urged her to advise the youth to save himself. 26: After much urging on his part, she undertook to persuade her son. 27: But, leaning close to him, she spoke in their native tongue as follows, deriding the cruel tyrant: \u201cMy son, have pity on me. I carried you nine months in my womb, and nursed you for three years, and have reared you and brought you up to this point in your life, and have taken care of you. 28: I beseech you, my child, to look at the heaven and the earth and see everything that is in them, and recognize that God did not make them out of things that existed. Thus also mankind comes into being. 29: Do not fear this butcher, but prove worthy of your brothers. Accept death, so that in God\u2019s mercy I may get you back again with your brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n 11a) Hebrews 12:9<\/span><\/p>\n Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?<\/p>\n 11b) 2 Maccabees 3:24<\/span><\/p>\n But when he arrived at the treasury with his bodyguard, then and there the Sovereign of spirits and of all authority caused so great a manifestation that all who had been so bold as to accompany him were astounded by the power of God, and became faint with terror.<\/p>\n 12a) Hebrews 12:12<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,<\/p>\n 12b) Sirach 25:23<\/span><\/p>\n A dejected mind, a gloomy face, and a wounded heart are caused by an evil wife. Drooping hands and weak knees are caused by the wife who does not make her husband happy.<\/p>\n 13a) Hebrews 13:7<\/span><\/p>\n Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God; consider the outcome of their life, and imitate their faith.<\/p>\n 13b) Wisdom 2:17<\/span><\/p>\n Let us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen at the end of his life;<\/p>\n JAMES<\/span><\/p>\n 1a) James 1:1<\/span><\/p>\n James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greeting.<\/p>\n 1b) 2 Maccabees 1:27<\/span><\/p>\n Gather together our scattered people, set free those who are slaves among the Gentiles, look upon those who are rejected and despised, and let the Gentiles know that thou art our God.<\/p>\n 2a) James 1:2<\/span><\/p>\n Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials,<\/p>\n 2b) Sirach 2:1<\/span><\/p>\n My son, if you come forward to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for temptation.<\/p>\n 2c) Wisdom 3:5<\/span><\/p>\n Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;<\/p>\n 3a) James 1:13<\/span><\/p>\n Let no one say when he is tempted, \u201cI am tempted by God\u201d; for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one;<\/p>\n 3b) Sirach 15:11-20<\/span><\/p>\n Do not say, \u201cBecause of the Lord I left the right way\u201d; for he will not do what he hates. 12: Do not say, \u201cIt was he who led me astray\u201d; for he had no need of a sinful man. 13: The Lord hates all abominations, and they are not loved by those who fear him. 14: It was he who created man in the beginning, and he left him in the power of his own inclination. 15: If you will, you can keep the commandments, and to act faithfully is a matter of your own choice. 16: He has placed before you fire and water: stretch out your hand for whichever you wish. 17: Before a man are life and death, and whichever he chooses will be given to him. 18: For great is the wisdom of the Lord; he is mighty in power and sees everything; 19: his eyes are on those who fear him, and he knows every deed of man. 20: He has not commanded any one to be ungodly, and he has not given any one permission to sin.<\/p>\n 4a) James 1:19<\/span><\/p>\n Know this, my beloved brethren.

The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell.<\/p>\n 9b) Sirach 5:13<\/span><\/p>\n Glory and dishonor come from speaking, and a man\u2019s tongue is his downfall.<\/p>\n 10a) James 3:10<\/span><\/p>\n From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.<\/p>\n 10b) Sirach 5:13<\/span><\/p>\n Glory and dishonor come from speaking, and a man\u2019s tongue is his downfall.<\/p>\n 10c) Sirach 28:12<\/span><\/p>\n If you blow on a spark, it will glow; if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth.<\/p>\n 11a) James 3:13<\/span><\/p>\n Who is wise and understanding among you?

He that speaks evil against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.<\/p>\n 12b) Wisdom 1:11<\/span><\/p>\n Beware then of useless murmuring, and keep your tongue from slander; because no secret word is without result, and a lying mouth destroys the soul.<\/p>\n 13a) James 5:3<\/span><\/p>\n Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire.
