Although the Orthodox Church does respect the Hebrew Old Testament, it also believes the Septuagint tradition should be studied by the church, out of respect for both the New Testament writers and the Eastern Church tradition.
Meskipun Gereja Ortodoks menghormati Perjanjian Lama Alkitab Ibrani, tetapi  juga percaya bahwa tradisi Septuaginta harus dipelajari oleh gereja, untuk menghormati baik para penulis Perjanjian Baru maupun tradisi Gereja Timur.
