"Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men"
Eph. 4:8


Paul misquotedPsalm 68:18

"Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men."

Psalm 68:18says "received gifts" not "gave gifts."
It also says "thou" not "he."
Jesus never led captivity captive, led others to a high mount, or gave gifts unto men.
There is a big difference between "giving gifts to men" and "receiving gifts for men."

"...as it is written, that thou might be justified in thy sayings, and might overcome when thou art judged"
Rom. 3:4


Paul misquoted Psalm 51:4

"...that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest").

Psalm 51:4 says "judgest" not "art judged."
Psalm 51:4 also says "and be clear" or "blameless," not "and mightest overcome" or "prevail."








37.

"But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand"
Rom. 15:21


Paul misquoted and misappliedIsa. 52:15

"...the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they have not heard shall they consider".

Isaiah 52:15says nothing about "he was not spoken of"; it says "that which had not been told them." It says "that," not "he."
"They that have not heard shall understand" is not the same as "that which they have not heard shall they consider."






38.

"Then said I, Lo I come [in the volume of the book it is written of me] to do thy will, O God")
Heb. 10:7


Paul distortedPsalm 40:7-8

"Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart".

He left out the last phrase ("thy law is within my heart") which shows God's will is the law.







39.

"...then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?.
1 Cor. 15:54-55

Paul misquotedIsa. 25:8

"He will swallow up death forever"


and

Hosea 13:14


"...O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction".

Isaiah says death will be swallowed up "forever" not "in victory."
Hosea says "thy plagues" not "thy sting."
"Hosea was not written in interrogatory form.
Hosea says "thy destruction" not "thy victory." It is difficult to see how Paul's words could be accurately derived from Isaiah and Hosea.
