 This thought may be paralleled in other Pauline Epistles, yet the 

 sequence here is suggestive. Cf. Exs. 2, 4, 6, and 12.

This parallel is of very little consequence.

Though similar exhortations occur elsewhere, xaloiv spyojv re- 

 minds one of our author's emphasis on " good works." 



Holtzmann sees a parallel between I Pt. 1 ; 3-5 and Tit. 3 ; 4-7, 

 (Handcommentar III, p. 110). Many other minor likenesses exist, 

 but they are, in the main, such as are common in the Pauline lite- 

 rature. 



Obviously, these parallels afford but little evidence for Hterary 

 dependence, since many of those given above, however close, are 

 not peculiar to these Epistles. The general structure of Titus, as 

 Holtzmann notes, is more suggestive than the separate passages. 

 But this cannot be conclusive, for it too has much in commom with 

 other Epistles upon which we have more reason to suppose our 

 Epistle depends. 



The underscored text of I PETER on the following pages will 

 show at a glance the probable influence of the Pauhne Epistles 

 upon our Epistle.
