LXX Job 13:16
Septuagint
14 Taking my flesh into my teeth, I shall also place my life in my hand. 15 Possibly the Mighty One shall subdue me, even given that he has surely begun, yet I shall speak and reprove against him. 16 And this shall turn out to my salvation, for no deceit shall enter in before him. 17 Hear, hear my words, for I shall declare for your hearing. 18 Behold, I am near my judgment; I know that I shall be shown as righteous. 19 For who is there who judges me? Because then I shall keep quiet and come to an end.

Philippians 1:19
New Testament
17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment. 18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 20 My confident hope is that I will in no way be ashamed but that with complete boldness, even now as always, Christ will be exalted in my body, whether I live or die.

Notes and References
"... In the course of framing an apologia for his own current imprisonment (compare 1:7, 12-14), Paul echoes a fragment of voice from Job. Despite his chains, he assures the Philippians that "through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance" (1:19). The last part of this statement (touto moi apobesetai eis soterian), though prefaced by no quotation formula, is a verbatim citation of words lifted from Job 13:16 (LXX) ..."
