Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you' parallels John's account of love revealed and originating in God. The everlasting, drawing love of the LORD in Jeremiah anticipates the divine love manifested in the sending of the Son.
