Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The 'fruit of the Spirit' yielding peace and righteousness recalls Isaiah's vision of the Spirit poured from on high making the wilderness fruitful so that the effect of righteousness is peace. The agricultural Spirit-fruit-peace cluster coheres closely with Paul's metaphor.
Medium confidence'Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high' supplies the very phrase 'power from on high' (ex hypsous) for the promised Spirit-endowment. Luke's 'clothed with power from on high' draws on this Isaianic image of the Spirit poured out to renew. Verbal contact ('from on high') gives medium-strong confidence.
