Echo2

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

2 Cor 4:7 ?

'We are the clay, you our potter' establishes the creature-as-vessel theme that Paul presses to magnify God's power over human weakness. Availability and coherence are strong within Paul's potter/clay usage (Rom 9:21).

Medium confidence
Luke 11:1-4 ?

"You are our Father; we are the clay" reinforces the address to God as Father. Coherent with 63:16 but adds little independent volume, so marked low.

Low confidence
