First Epistle of Peter. 415 



Cf. I Cor. 15 ; 34, Gal. 4 ; 8, Eph. 2 ; 12, 4 ; 18, 22, II Thes. 1 ; 8. 

 See also Romans Ex. 9 (i. e,, I Pt. 1 ; 14 = Rom. 12 ; 2), which more 

 probably sustains some relation to this verse.

The thought and wording are close, yet not such as to make depen- 

 dence here more probable than in Rom. 11 ; 2. See Rom. Ex. 10.

See Rom. 12 ; 17 for an exact parallel, which is also in a better 

 context.

In I Pt. 4 ; 7 b the exhortation is given in view of the imminent 

 judgment (4 ; 7 a) likewise in I Thes. 5 ; 6, they are exhorted to 

 watchfulness that they may be ready for the sudden coming of the 

 Lord (5 ; 1 — 4). I Thes. 5 ; 5 seems to interrupt this thought and make 

 the exhortation an appeal for consistent action on the part of the 

 "children of light. " Cf. Col. 4 ; 2, Mt. 26 ; 41, Lk. 21 ; 34.
