Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Acts 18:5-6

The watchman who warns the wicked and is not heeded 'has delivered his soul' — exactly Paul's claim 'I am clean.' Recurrence with Ezekiel 33:4 strengthens the watchman frame.

High confidence

Echo1

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

1 Tim 4:11-16

'You will save both yourself and those who hear you' echoes the watchman charge, 'if you warn the wicked... you will have saved your life.' The minister's vigilance secures both his own and his hearers' deliverance.
