Use of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs in the New Testament
Charles (l.c.) called attention to the frequent use of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs by Paul and other writers of the New Testament. I Thess. ii. 16 is a quotation of Test. Patr., Levi, 6:10; Rom. 12:19 of Gad, 6:10; Rom. 12:21 of Benjamin, 6:3; II Cor. 12:10 of Gad, 5:7; and Ephes. 5:6 of Naphtali, 3:1.

Later scholarship has highly debated this issue. Current consensus is that, while there is similarity of thought, the New Testament authors do not utilise the Testaments in any way.
