NT Quotations from the OT
This question is a bit more general in nature. It has to do with the differences of the NT quotations from the OT. One example is found below. The OT says "I will require it of him" but the NT says "shall be destroyed from among the people.
Deuteronomy 18:19 (King James Version)
19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Acts 3:23 (King James Version)
23And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
What is the general rule for discerning the differences? I have never really examined the quotations closely and I didn't know how to answer my friend when he asked me about it.
Thanks for your help.
Tim
