First Epistle of Peter. 403 



to I Peter, and others common with it but rare in the N. T. Cf. 

 parallels No. 15-19, 27-30. 



(7) 1 Clem. 1 ; 3 I Pfc. 3 ; 7 



'Azovs[j.(o occurs but this one time in the N. T. That Clement 

 uses TtfjLTjV as its object in a context suggestive of I Peter can 

 hardly be accidental. 



(8) I Clem. 2 ; 2, 7 I Pt. 4 ; 19 



Professor Carlyle not only notes that this word occurs nowhere 

 else in the N. T., but also that it is found neither in the LXX nor 

 other Greek versions of the O. T. and Apocrypha ; and that appar- 

 ently it does not occur in classical literature. The word is very 

 significant in this connection. 



(9) I Clem. 2 ; 4 I Pt. 2 ; 17 5 ; 7 



This word, which occurs in no other book of the N. T., Carlyle 

 says, " appears in the LXX only in I Mac. 12 ; 10, 17, but in the sense 

 of brotherly affection." He is also unable to find the word in clas- 

 sical Hterature. (N. T. in A. F. p. 57.) It is also significant that it 

 is found in direct connection with . . . auvzibifizbic. (tov apt9^[x6v)

(10, I Clem. 2; 1 I Pt. 5 ; 1 



Although this is a favorite Petrine expression it affords, in 

 itself, but httle evidence for or against dependence, since it is 

 also common in the letters of Paul. Yet taken in conjunction with 

 parallels 8 and 9, and the general tone of the passage with its appeal 

 to their witnessing, the probabilities are greatl}. increased. 



Professor Carlyle is justified in not taking into account the last 

 three citations, when viewed separately, but when so many like- 

 nesses, both in diction and thought, occur in such close contextual 

 connection, one is justified in taking into account less striking re- 

 semblances and in giving to all a higher rating.
