Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The light of the knowledge of the glory of God' closely tracks Habakkuk's promise that the earth will be filled with 'the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.' The triple chain knowledge-glory-LORD is distinctive enough to register as more than coincidence.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Maturing 'until we all attain to the unity... of the knowledge of the Son of God' faintly echoes the eschatological filling of the earth with 'the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.' Volume is thin; the shared eschatological 'knowledge' goal supplies coherence.
Low confidence'They should know you' coupled with 'glorify' (vv1-3) faintly recalls 'the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.' Knowledge-plus-glory cluster offers thematic coherence but Volume is low and diffuse.
