Speaking to a bunch of dilettante philosophers on Mars Hall, Paul quoted a couple pagan poets: "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we are indeed his offspring'" (Acts 17:28). The Words "In him we live and move and have our being" quote the sixth century BC poem Cretica by Epimenides. And "We are indeed his offspring" comes from Phainomena by Aratus.
Talking to Festus, Paul echoed an idiom for fighting against the gods or any other authority over you, "to kick against the goads" (Acts 26:14). This idiom is found in various sources (Pindar, Pythian Odes, 2; Euripides, Bacchae, 794-95; Aeschylus, Agamemnon, 1617-24.
When Paul says, "Do not be deceived, 'Bad company corrupts good morals" (1 Cor 15:33), he's echoing Thais by Menander or the play Aiolos by Euripedes.
Paul says, "One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons'" (Titus 1:12). This quotes the sixth century BC poet Epimenides of Crete.
And Jude 14-15 quotes the pseudepigraphical book 1 Enoch 1:9.
