Barnabas is quite suggestive of I Peter at this point.

The context (wv TcavTo? too x6(7[j.ou K'jpioc, Si sTttsv 6 ©so?) con- 

 necting this parallel with the one just cited is in favor of consider- 

 ing this verbatim agreement to be merely accidental, yet it occurs 

 in significant connections in both books.

Quoted from the LXX, but probably suggested by I Peter as

Since "Barnabas" purports to be quoting from "the prophet," 

 the passage is a good commentary on his method of quoting. That 

 he is not following the original is obvious from the text itself. 

 (tt^'Ti;^ N*:" VP?:?'?'"!). 'EXm^co is here used in the sense of Tiinzzdbi as 

 in I Pt. 3 ; 5, IXxi^ouo-ai Iro, tov Oeov. This usage is rare in the 

 N. T. Paul may parallel it in Rom. 15 ; 12 and Phil. 2 ; 19, yet 

 in the latter case it refers to desire mingled with trust. Other 

 probable examples are I Tim. 4 ; 10, 5 ; 5. It seems on the whole 

 altogether likely that our " Epistle of Hope " may have influenced 

 "Barnabas" to employ unconsciously zhzi^^i for ma-T£Uw.

There is nothing here but the context by which to determine 

 whether " Barnabas is quoting " Ps. 118 ; 22 independently or at 

 the suggestion of our Epistle. If he is following Rom. 8 ; 33 it
