When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The Torah's own rule that a foreigner must be circumcised before sharing in the Passover/community is the legal logic the circumcision party extends to Gentile believers — only the circumcised may belong. Faint, conceptual.
Low confidenceThe Passover rule that an uncircumcised man may not partake, while the circumcised foreigner becomes 'as one born in the land,' frames Timothy (son of a Jewess, Greek father) as a borderline figure regularized by circumcision so he can move freely among Jews. Thematic resonance; no verbal borrowing.
