Dependence cannot be argued here, unless through the relation 

 this parallel sustains to the other Johannine Literature. Cf. Jn. 13 ; 

 34, 15 ; 12, I Jn. 3 ; 23.

This parallel is quite suggestive, yet since it is the only real point 

 of contact between these Epistles, and the reference in I Peter is 

 a quotation from the O.T., III John can have no voice in determin- 

 ing the relation the Johannine Literature sustains to I Peter.

The idea of the " new birth " is found in the Pauhne writings. 

 Cf. I Cor. 4 ; 15, Gal. 4 ; 19, 6 ; 15, Tit. 3 ; 5. It is more clearly 

 set forth in our Epistle. Cf. 1 ; 3, 23. It would seem that the author 

 of the Fourth Gospel took up the idea as our author had developed 

 it and incorporated it into a narrative.
