Professor Bacon thinks that ; "the thought here is reproduced 

 from I Peter." He also maintains that James is the borrower in 

 Ex. 2. (Com. on Gal. p. 8 n.) The language of James shows a close 

 relation to Ps. 90 ; 6, 103 ; 15, Job 14 ; 2 and Isa. 40 ; 6-8, but 

 it is more closely related to the last. Dependence here is made ver}' 

 probable by the next parallel.

The identical use of the introductory participles is striking. The 

 wording and general plan are also very similar. That I Pt. 2 ; 1 is 

 preceded by a possible reference to James is significant, as weU as 

 the fact that 2 ; 2 finds a parallel in the " new born babes " to the 

 "new birth " of Jas. 1 ; 18, which is in a close context. Monnier 

 compares the " Word of Truth " which saves our souls (Jas. 1 ; 21) 

 to " le lait };0Ytx6v par lequel on grandit en vue du salut." I Pt. 

 2 ; 2 (Com. p. 269). I Pt. 2 ; 1 is an exhortation based upon 1 ; 

 23a. If Jas. 1 ; 21 is in any way connected with the preceding 

 context, it too must go back a few verses, i. e. to 1 ; 18. Obviousl}- 

 the connection is better in I Peter. That this similar exhortation 

 foUows three verses below the common reference to the " new birth," 

 makes a strong case for dependence. I Peter also employs the 

 " Word " in 2 ; 2, which James used in the foregoing connection.
