I am sorry, but was I talking about the Gospel of Matthew, or the Pauline epistles? I believe I was referring to the Pauline letters. Paul, for the use of his letters, quotes from the Hebrew canon - not the Septuagint.
Say what?
Even this attempt to whittle down the NT to "only" Paul to do away with the Septuagint is a poor attempt to discredit the very book that the APOSTLE used (yea, Paul. I even put in Hebrew quotes for you, since you think that the letter to the Hebrews uses ONLY the Hebrew version of the OT)...
Rom. 2:24 / Isaiah 52:5 - the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles. Hebrew - blasphemed (there is no mention of the Gentiles).
Rom. 3:4 / Psalm 51:4 - thou mayest "prevail" (or overcome) when thou art judged. Hebrew - thou might "be clear" when thou judges.

Rom. 3:13 / Psalm 5:9 - they use their tongues to deceive. Hebrew - they flatter with their tongues. There is no "deceit" language.

Pretty clear evidence that Paul used the Septuagint. Over and over again... I pray you are open to the evidence and not stubbornly cast it aside.
