The agreement is obvious, but the frequency with which this thought 

 occurs in the Pauhne Literature makes it almost implossible to 

 determine which Epistle may have suggested it to our author. The 

 probabihties, however, are in favor of Romans (8 ; 38) and Ephesians 

 (1 ; 21, 22). Cf. also Col. 2 ; 10, 1 ; 16.

Paul here refers to the testing of the Judgment, of which our 

 author thought the present persecutions were the immediate precur- 

 sors. Cf. I Pt. 4 ; 7. Though the conditions under which they 

 wrote were very different, the figure used by Paul would be picked 

 up most appropriately during the trying ordeal.

This close parallel finds similar thought in I Tim. 6 ; 12, but is 

 quite suggestive of dependence here.
