First Epistle of Peter. 417 



(5) I Pfc. 5; 10 II Thes. 3; 3

 These last three parallels need not detain us. 



As in I Thessalonians, there is no word common to these Epistles 

 only, and clearly the evidence will not warrant any claim for depen- 

 dence.

The hope of a great blessing at the " Parousia " is Pauline, though 

 not peculiar to him. (Cf. II Thes. 1 ; 7.) "Ev axoxa>>U'l»£t 'ItiTol) 

 Xpio-Toti is the Pauline term for the Parousia." (Cone, Com. on I 

 Pet. p. 306). This is the closest paraUel to I Pt. 1 ; 13 in the N. T., 

 yet it is not conclusive.

Heb. 5 ; 12, 13 has a similar figure. Heb. 6 ; 5 also corresponds 

 closely with I Pt. 2 ; 3. The passages in the above Parallel refer 

 to those who are "tull of hearing." I Cor. 3 ; 1, 2 is followed in 

 V. 3 by thought much hke I Pt. 2 ; 1. Both textually and contextu- 

 ally then this is the nearest N. T. parallel, and may indicate a real 

 point of contact. (Cf. Holtzmann's Einleitung p. 314.)

No other N. T. passage reproduces this thought so closely, except 

 Gal. 5 ; 13. The probabilities of dependence here are increased by 

 the possible echo of I Cor. 7 ; 23 in I Pt. 1 ; 18.
