Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

2 Cor 6:17

'I will receive you' (eisdexomai) matches Ezekiel's promise to gather and receive the people out from the peoples ('I will bring you out... and I will receive you'), supplying the welcome-clause not present in Isaiah 52:11. Volume moderate via the distinctive verb; a real catena link.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

1 Pet 5:5-11 ?

'I will bring you out... with a mighty hand' applies the exodus 'mighty hand' to a restoration-from-exile context, fitting 1 Peter's address to elect exiles under God's hand.
