Peter demonstrates a deep familiarity with the Old Testament. One section, 1 Peter 2:6-10, is especially dense with Old Testament quotations and allusions. 

1 Peter 2:6-10 (ESV)Old Testament (ESV)
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” (2:6b ESV)Therefore thus says the LORD God, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’” (Isaiah 28:16 ESV)
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (2:7b ESV)Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 118:2 ESV)
“A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” (2:8a ESV) And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Isaiah 8:14 ESV) 
But you are a chosen race … a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (2:9a, c-d ESV)Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. (Deuteronomy 10:15 ESV)
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation …. (2:9a-b ESV)And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken. (Isaiah 62:12 ESV)
Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people. (2:10a-b ESV)She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, “Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all” … And the LORD said, “Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.” … and I will sow her for myself in the land. And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, ‘You are my people’; and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’” (Hosea 1:6, 9; 2:23 ESV)
