" These passages present many points of correspondence of phrase 

 and thought, but the conception of redemption through the blood 

 of Christ is not pecuhar to St. Peter's Epistles in the N. T., and may 

 well be supposed to have been current among all Christians." Among 

 the " many points of correspondence " Professor Carlyle should 

 have noted that alixa^i ■vi\Kiov is peculiar to our Epistle. It is also 

 important to note that Clement alludes, in the immediate context, 

 to the preaching of Noah. Cf. I Clem. 7 ; 6 with I Pt. 3 ; 20. It 

 seems probable, therefore, that this Pauline thought traveled by the 

 way of I Peter.

Monnier thinks there is a reference here to I Peter. This may be 

 a mere coincidence, and indeed we should so conclude, were it not for 

 the fact that this compound word (a7:oTtO"Tj[j.t.) is not common in the 

 N. T., and that it is used here in a connection resembling that of 

 I Peter. The probabilities are increased in geometrical ratio to the 

 number of times it is used in this way. Cf. I Clem. 30 ; 1 and 57 ; 2.

This parallel is significant in this context. Hoiij-viov is a rare 

 word in the N. T. It is used in all five times, two of which are here. 

 Neither Lk. 12 ; 32 nor Acts 20 ; 28, 29 shows as many points of 

 likeness to I Clement. Acts 20 ; 28, 29 and I Pt. 5 ; 2, 3 have much 

 in common and seem to be related, yet the context with its appeal 

 to the " Suffering Servant " of II Isaiah is more in accord with our 

 author's interpretation of Jesus. Clement uses Ta7U£ivocppov£o> 

 (16; 1, 17) in harmony with Ta7r£tvocppO(7UVY] of I Pt. 5; 5 and TaTTEtvo'co 

 of 5 ; 6. As in I Peter those in authority are exhorted not to exalt
