First Epistle of Peter. 459 



PHILEMON 



D 



No one can determine with certainty from the Epistles themselves 

 whether our author did or did not know Philemon, but that he made 

 no use of it is obvious.

Though the thought is much the same, there is a closer parallel 

 in Rom. 12 ; 1.

See Rom. 13 ; 11, 12, which is in a more favorable context.

Verbally, no other passage is such an exact parallel. But the idea 

 of sharing and participating in the sufferings of Christ is very common 

 with Paul. Cf. Rom. 8 ; 17, 18, II Cor. 1 ; 7, 14 ; 10, Col. 1 ; 24. 

 This similarity suggests dependence but the context is not in its 

 favor.
