St. Paul frequently alludes to the redemption through Christ but 

 not just as these authors do. The former never uses the word 

 a[jLwp.O(; just as the latter use it. "The physical perfection of 

 the victim is regarded as typical of the sinlessness of Christ, 

 which makes his blood Ttpov " (Bigg), all of which is in 

 thorough harmony with Hebrews. Christ's blood as the means of 

 redemption is emphasised by both authors. Both contrast the 

 efficacy of the appointed means with other agencies. Both allude 

 to the former conduct much in the same fashion. Cf, I Pt. 1 ; 18 b 

 with Heb. 9 ; 14 b. Compare also Tipo xaT:a[3o>.rj5 x6(7[J.ou with a^o

 ocTca'^ . . I Pt. 3 ; 18. Both Epistles have thought in common with Paul, 

 yet the parallels noted above can hardly be due to common de- 

 pendence. The thought runs through the whole chapter of Hebrews, 

 whereas in I Peter it is more fragmentary, indicating the priority 

 of the former. Dependence is made more probable by the close 

 parallel between I Pt. 1 ; 17 and Heb. 12 ; 28.
