Abstract

This article aims to analyze the use of the quotations, allusions and echos of the Old Testament in Paul's Epistle to the Romans. We use the criteria pointed out by Richard Hays and G. K. Beale in their works. The study introduces the use of the OT in the NT, in the Pauline epistolary and, more specifically, in Romans, presenting a table containing the texts where Paul uses the OT in this epistle. The research findings point out that Paul did not use the OT at random, but on purpose, based on a thought common to the Judaism in the first century. The re:search also shows the prevalence of the use of the Septuagint (LXX) to detriment of the Hebrew Text (TH) and that, even in the texts where reference is made directly to the TH, it is possible to relate it to the LXX, thus configuring the current and priority use of this version of Scripture in Romans, which also occurs in other Pauline letters and NT books. The main objective of this study is to understand how and why Paul used the Scriptures of Israel so extensively in this one that was the greatest of his letters.
