And, strange to say, in five other passages which are quoted variantly by St.Paul, Justin also agrees with him, [Endnote 18:1] though cases on the other hand occur where Justin differs from St.Paul or holds a position midway between him and the LXX (e.g.1 Cor.i.19 compared with Just.Dial.cc.123, 32, 78, where will be found some curious variations, agreement with LXX, partial agreement with LXX, partial agreement with St.Paul).
