A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

1 Cor 15:50-58 ?

'At the last trumpet... the trumpet will sound' (v.52) echoes the eschatological 'great trumpet' that gathers the scattered to worship. The trumpet as signal of the end-time ingathering of God's people coheres with the resurrection summons; among trumpet texts this is the most eschatologically specific, hence medium.

Medium confidence
1 Thess 4:13-18

'a great trumpet will be blown' to gather the scattered to worship the LORD parallels the trumpet summoning the dead and living to meet the Lord. Eschatological-gathering trumpet motif.

Medium confidence
Mark 13:24-27 ?

'A great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost... will come and worship the LORD' from the Isaiah Apocalypse provides the trumpet-summoned ingathering of the scattered; Matthew's parallel makes the trumpet explicit. Mark's angelic gathering coheres with this Isaianic regathering even without naming the trumpet.

Medium confidence
Matt 24:29-31

'a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost... will come and worship the LORD' (Isa 27:13) is the source for the trumpet that summons the dispersed elect to be gathered at the Son of Man's coming.
