We may often notice that New Testament authors like to refer to Old Testament passages. But how do we distinguish when these authors are quoting, or alluding to, or echoing the OT? Sometimes the NT authors make it easy for us. Matthew, for example, includes the words, “Isaiah the prophet” before he cites this prophet (Matthew 3:3). But more often than not, they give us no clear indication about their references. Notice, for example, Paul in 1 Corinthians 5:13: “Cast out the wicked person from among you!” There is no indication in this text that these words come directly from Deuteronomy 17:7 (or a parallel passage).
