Echo2

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

Luke 17:31-33 ?

The proverb 'all that a man has he will give for his life' resonates faintly with the paradox of seeking to save one's life and losing it; the connection is thematic, not verbal, so low.

Low confidence
Matt 16:24-28 ?

'Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life' resonates with the rhetorical 'what will a man give in exchange for his life?' — the supreme value placed on life. Faint, possibly coincidental proverbial overlap.
