First Epistle of Peter. 515 



I Peter depends upon Romans, hence, if there is dependence here 

 between James and I Peter it must be on the part of the former. 

 This parallel is made more significant by Exs. 4, 6 and 20.

Patient endurance in suffering is at a premium in both cases, 

 though they appeal to different examples. The appeal of James 

 to the 0. T. worthies does not show the Christian trait as distinctly 

 as I Peter in its appeal to Christ, nor is it in accord with Jas. 1 ; 1. 

 'AYa&'OTJoioijvTsr of Peter is in accord with "James' polemic" 

 against the misunderstanding either of Paul's doctrine of " Justifi- 

 cation by Faith," or of Hebrews 11. 



(19) I Pt 3 ; 10 Jas. 1 ; 26 



Here is a close parallel in thought. I Peter probably quoted 

 3 ; 9 a from Prov. 17 ; 13 at Paul's suggestion. Cf. Rom. 12 ; 14, 

 17, I Thes. 5 ; 15. On the basis of Mayor's criterion, the brevity 

 of James here indicates its priority, but against this is Jas. 3, which 

 is more explicable as a discourse preached on the text of I Peter 

 against the growing zeal to become teachers. Cf. I Cor. 14 ; 16—22.

The thought is too common during the early period to be decisive, 

 yet the general trend of the contexts is quite alike in both cases.
