Summary/Abstract: The New Testament texts depend on the Septuaginta translation for the grammar and vocabulary that they use. The influence is shown by the numerous quotations according to the most ancient translation of the Old Testament. The relationship between the two main parts of the Bible lies in the common content shared by the authors of their books. The present paper describes the dependence of the name “New Testament” on the Septuagint and demonstrates that its openness favored the reception of the Christian message.
