Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 3:7–13

'He will call his servants by another name' — the new-name-for-the-elect (vs. old name as curse) behind 3:12. Pairs with Isa 62:2; thematic coherence with the eschatological renaming of God's servants.

Medium confidence

Echo2

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

Acts 11:22-26 ?

'The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch' may faintly resonate with Isaiah's promise that the LORD's servants 'shall be called by another name.' A contested, low-volume figural echo of the giving of a new name to God's people; no verbal borrowing.

Low confidence
Rev 19:11-13 ?

'the Lord GOD will... call his servants by another name' - reinforces the new/secret-name theme of v.12; faint.
