where does Paul quote "now is the day of salvation" from?

Paul quotes 'now is the day of salvation' from the Old Testament, specifically from the book of Isaiah. In this passage, he states, 'Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation,' drawing directly on Isaiah's prophecy to emphasize the present opportunity for salvation.

Les explains that in chapter 6, verse 2, Paul is going to quote from the Old Testament, from the book of Isaiah. He then gives the quotation: 'Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.' This shows Paul grounding his appeal in Isaiah's prophecy about the acceptable time of salvation.
