First Epistle of Peter. 425 



that there is here a literary dependence says " Es ist nun aber auch 

 in dieser Stelle voUig unmogHch, daB die Abhangigkeit auf Seiten des 

 Petrus sein kann." (Der Petrinische Lehrbegriff. p. 422) Against 

 this abnost isolated example is to be given the general consensus 

 of scholastic opinion. Furthermore Weiss does not seem to have 

 met Bruckner's argument. Monnier says : " la dependance de I Pt. 

 2 ; 6 et 8 par rapport a Rom. 9 ; 33 est evidente." (Com. p. 38.) 

 H. M. Holtzmann, (Einl. p. 314,) gives the following Hne of reasoning ; 

 " Am wenigsten aber ist nur Zufall dabei im Spiele, wenn Jes. 28 ; 16 

 und 8 ; 14, letztere Stelle verschmolzen mit Ps. 118 ; 22, I. Pt. 2 ; 

 6—8, ganz ahnlich wie Rom. 9 ; 33 (Jes. 28 ; 16 mit Jes. 8 ; 14 ver- 

 bunden, vgl. auch I. Pt. 2 ; 8 xpoGr.oTUTeiv wie Rom. 9 ; 32 und 

 paulinischer Determinismus wie Rom. 9 ; 14 f. und unmittelbar 

 darauf 10. Hos. 2 ; 25 ganz in demselben Sinne, um den Unterschied 

 des ehemaligen heidnischen und des gegenwartigen christlichen Zu- 

 standes hervorzuheben, angefiihrt wird, wie Rom. 9 ; 25 eine solche 

 Benutzung Bestatigung findet.) Gerade wie Pis., Rom. 9 ; 33, 10 ; 

 11 thut, ist der Spruch Jes. 28 ; 16 mit einem zu maTS'Jtov hinzu- 

 tretenden s:: auxw aus Jes. 8 ; 14 ausgestattet ; auch der beider- 

 seitige Eingang des Spruches stimmt gegen LXX iiberein." 



Zahn (Introduction II p. 188) gives the following against Weiss : 

 " That Rom. 9 ; 32 f . and I Pt. 2 ; 6, still more 2 ; 4-8 were not 

 written independently of each other is proved (1) by the fact that 

 both apostles in quoting Isa. 28 ; 16 are practically agreed against 

 the strongly variant reading of the LXX ; even the addition liz 

 auTw (Rom. 9 ; 33, 10 ; 11,1 Pt. 2 ; 6) is certainly spurious in the 

 LXX ; (2) from the fact that after the quotation of Isa. 28 ; 16, 

 following a quotation from Ps. 118; 22, in I Pt. 2; 7 f . are added 

 the words yib-oc 7ipo(7x6'jj.[;.aTO(; xai xs-rpa oxavBdclou, which are taken 

 from Isa. 8 ; 14, but vary greatly from the text of the LXX, and 

 which Paul inserts in the quotation of Isa. 28 ; 16. Here also 

 Peter does not copy Rom. ; he is familiar with the prophetic text 

 from his own reading, since in 2 ; 6 he gives the characteristics of 

 the stone, — as also earlier in 2 ; 3, — passed over by Paul. But there 

 remains in his memory also the form in which Paul had quoted 

 the words of the prophet, and, following the cue suggested by 

 Paul's combination of Isa. 28 ; 16 and Isa. 8 ; 14 he also adds 

 Ps. 118; 22."
