This parallel becomes more significant when taken in connection 

 with ©£ou d%oho\^A\ l<j^z of I Cor. 3 ; 9b. Cf. also I Pt. 2 ; 5 = 

 I Cor. 3 ; 16.

This figure may have been borrowed from I Cor. 9 ; 25. In nei- 

 ther of the other parallels (II Tim. 4 ; 8 and Jas. 1 ; 12) is the imper- 

 ishable nature of the crown mentioned. Since I Peter cannot depend 

 upon James, and the connection with II Timothy is very dubious 

 the dependence of our Epistle upon I Corinthians is all the more 

 probable at this point.

A closer duplicate is found in Jas. 1 ; 2, 3, though the figure here 

 is much the same. Although the background is very different in 

 these Epistles, I Cor. 3 ; 13 may have suggested the figure to our 

 author.

The idea is Pauline, though the deliverance from a vain manner 

 of life is a mild statement as compared with Gal. 3 ; 13. T'-[;.9]c 

 and aiixaTi seem to refer to the same thing.

The parallel is suggestive, but not so close as in Romans. Cf. 

 I Pt. 1 ; 21 = Rom. 4 ; 24.
