Although this is an exact parallel we cannot be certain that it is 

 quoted from our Epistle. It occurs also in I Clem. XLIX, 5, in which 

 place it is discussed. 



The above parallels are close even in details, yet the probabilities 

 of dependence are of a low degree.

No other book in the Bible furnishes a passage so nearly resembling 

 this as I Pet. 2 ; 9. 



(2) Trypho 138 I Pt. 3 ; 18-21 



Mr. Bigg thinks there is a reference here to I Pt. 3 ; 18—21. Inas- 

 much as the story of Noah is commented upon in the same manner, 

 it seems to imply a knowledge of this passage. Noah is a type of 

 Baptism, the eight persons are dwelt upon, and we find close together 

 avay£vvav, BiEO-toQiri, Bi' ohcccoi;. Further similarity is noted in re- 

 ference to Jesus' resurrection and exaltation, following in the same 

 order as in our Epistle.

(3) Apol. 1 ; 61 uses avay£vvaco, which is pecuUar to I Peter. The 

 thought however, in this connection is nearer that of John 3 ; 5, 

 than that of our Epistle. In I Pt. 1 ; 3 the word refers to the new 

 birth of a " lively hope," accomplished by the resurrection of Jesus. 

 In the other reference (I Pt. 1 ; 23) the Christian is born again not 

 of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by the word of God, and 

 not by baptism as in Justin.

Bigg thinks Justin quite clearly alludes to I Peter here. He 

 rightly points out that izCpoxyi^ in this sense is pecuhar to I Peter.
