Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

2 Cor 11:1-6

'I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy' invokes the divine attribute that YHWH names his very self ('a jealous God,' literally 'whose name is Jealous'). The jealousy is covenantal: it presupposes the marriage bond and forbids rival lovers, precisely Paul's worry about 'another Jesus.' The conceptual link is dense even without verbatim quotation.

High confidence

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

1 Cor 10:14-22

'The LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God' grounds the jealousy logic of v.22 and ties the idolatry warning to the covenant's first commandment. Coheres with the jealous-God theology Paul presses against idol feasts.
