Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Eph 1:20-23 ?

'Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the LORD' supplies the divine self-description behind 'him who fills all in all.' Thematic coherence with God's omnipresent fullness is strong; the volume is moderate (a shared plerosis motif), so medium confidence.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

Eph 4:7-10

'That he might fill all things' coheres with the divine 'Do I not fill heaven and earth?' Volume is moderate (the 'fill all/heaven and earth' motif) and the coherence with Eph's cosmic-plenitude theology is strong. The omnipresence claim is transferred to the ascended Christ.
