CREA
    You're welcome.  As for working from first principles, I think I could
if I had to, but fortunately it wasn't necessary in this case.  The
translation team responsible for the A.B.S./U.B.S. __New Testament in
Today's English__ (part of the TEV) was thoughtful (and kind) enough to
include a listing of LXX passages found in the NT as an appendix to their
work.  Take care of yourself.


With Mettaa,
