impartiality in the judgment in harmony with Rom. 2 ; 11. Cf. 

 also 2 ; 6. A similar sentiment is expressed in Eph. 6 ; 9, and 

 Col. 3 ; 25. That this is a closer parallel than in the " speech of 

 Peter " is very significant. — We have seen another probable point 

 of contact in this context of Romans, (i. e., IPt. 1 ; 7 = Rom. 2 ; 10,). 

 thereby justifying us in putting this parallel in class " b ".

That God raised up Jesus from the dead, was a common belief, 

 but that He did it to beget belief in Himself, hence be efficacious 

 for salvation, is peculiar to these authors. Monnier says " La 

 resurrection de J. C. est constamment rapportee a un acte de Dieu, 

 a qui revient, en derniere analyse, la premiere initiative et la puis- 

 sance supreme dans I'oeuvre de salut ..." Both the thought 

 and phrasing are very close.

This parallel is too close to require comment. Jas. 4 ; 8 approxi- 

 mates it but is not nearly so close. Furthermore the evidence 

 seems to indicate that " James " is later than either of the above 

 passages.

An obvious parallel to the Pauhne doctrine of the o-ap? which 

 " wars " against the 7WEU[xa. Monnier (Com. p. 110) says: "Eph. 2 ; 

 3 est imite ici ", but in reahty there is here a combination of 

 Rom. 7 ; 23 and Eph. 2 ; 3 in one sentence. The passage in Ephe- 

 sians fails to emphasise the " internal warfare " as do these passages.
