First Epistle of Peter. 487 



" household of God." The phrase appears in I Tim. 3 ; 15, but not 

 in the above sense. Cf. Heb. 3 ; 6. 



(24) I Pt. 5 ; 4 Heb. 2 ; 7, 9 



The " crown of glory " would very naturally be attributed to 

 Christ first, then to his followers. If there is dependence shown 

 here it would seem to indicate the priority of Hebrews. The thought 

 " crown of glory " or " crowned with glory " occurs only here in the 

 N. T. The contextual sequence is hardly accidental. Cf. I Pt. 

 2 ; 25, 5 ; 4 with Heb. 13 ; 20, also I Pt. 3 ; 22 with Heb. 2 ; 9, 12 ; 2.

It is very significant that in the immediate contexts, Jesus Christ 

 is appealed to as the one through whom God works, Hebrews very 

 probably depends here upon II Thes. 2 ; 17.

Though the thought is couched in different words, it is indeed 

 suggestive.

These are the first N. T. writers to use the word a^iaviro?. Cf. 

 Heb. 7 ; 26, 13 ; 4. The imperishable nature of the inheritance 

 is emphasised by both authors. Yet they may draw independently 

 from Paul. Cf. Gal. 3 ; 18, Eph. 1 ; 14, 18, 5 ; 5, Col. 3 ; 24, I Cor. 

 6; 9, 10, 15; 15, Gal. 4 ; 30, 5 ; 21.

The phraseology is not so suggestive as the thought. The parallel 

 receives additional significance by the possible reference to Heb. 

 12 ; 10b in I Pt. 1 ; 15, 16.
