Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The effect of righteousness will be peace' stands directly behind 'the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace,' linking righteousness and shalom as James does.
High confidenceEcho3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The collocation ‘peaceful fruit of righteousness’ (v. 11) may also draw on Isa 32:17, where righteousness yields ‘peace’ and quietness. Contested and faint — the link rests on the shared righteousness/peace pairing, not distinctive wording.
Low confidence"Peace with God" through righteousness (5:1): "the work of righteousness shall be peace." The prophetic linkage of righteousness and peace faintly underlies Paul's pairing of justification with peace, though no verbal borrowing is evident.
Low confidence'The Kingdom of God is... righteousness, peace, and joy' (14:17) coheres with the prophetic vision that 'the work of righteousness shall be peace' (Isaiah 32:17), where dikaiosynē and eirēnē are paired as the fruit of the Spirit poured out (32:15). Thematic resonance of the Spirit-wrought eschatological order.
