But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, says Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin […]

Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
'This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins' (v.27) also draws the new-covenant formula from Jer 31:33-34 ('this is the covenant I will make... I will forgive their iniquity and remember their sin no more'). The 'covenant + forgiveness of sins' pairing is distinctively Jeremianic; Paul fuses it into the Isaianic Deliverer oracle.
High confidenceAllusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The new-covenant promise of the law written on hearts so that 'they shall all know me' undergirds 'taught by God to love one another.' Internal, Spirit-given instruction replacing external teaching is the Jeremianic hope Paul presupposes.
High confidence'They shall all know me, from the least to the greatest' (new-covenant interiority of divine teaching) reinforces the 'taught by God' citation and the drawing/learning that brings one to Jesus (vv.44-45). Strong Coherence as a secondary new-covenant source.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Jeremiah's new covenant, quoted in full at 8:8–12, returns here in brief to close the case: if sins are remembered ‘no more,’ then ‘there is no more offering for sin.’ The recurrence brackets the whole central section (Hays).
