The thought is thoroughly Pauline. Cf. Rom. 12 ; 2, I Thes. 4 ; 

 5, and Acts 17 ; 30. 'Ayvoia appears in the N. T. only in these 

 passages and in Acts 3 ; 17 and 17 ; 30. The parallel suggests 

 dependence.

The sequence of thought is worthy of note. Cf. Ex. 25.

" The transition from darkness to light is much emphasised in 

 Eph. 5 ; 8—14, yet the phrase probably was suggested by Eph. 1 ; 

 17-19." (Hort's Ep. of St. Pt. p. 130.) The preceding parallel 

 makes this one more significant.

 [J.0? occurs only in I Pt. 1 ; 1, 2 ; 11 and Heb. 11; 13. Eevo?, 

 a comparatively rare word in the N. T., is used by our author in 

 4 ; 12. It is employed by no N. T. writer in the above sense earlier 

 than I Peter, except in Eph. 2 ; 12, 19. This combination, following 

 Exs. 27 and 28, is very suggestive.

Though the thought is more crassly expressed in our Epistle it 

 is important to note that this reference is found between two very 

 suggestive parallels, i. e., 5 and 6.
