If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.”

Echo4
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Choose this day whom you will serve' — the exclusive either/or of covenant allegiance behind 'no one can serve two masters.'
Medium confidence'No servant can serve two masters... you cannot serve God and Mammon' echoes the covenantal either/or of choosing whom to serve, the LORD versus rival gods. Coherence with the exclusive-service motif is real but the diction is independent, so it is a faint figural echo at best.
Low confidence'He who is not with me is against me' carries the covenantal either/or of choosing allegiance ('choose this day whom you will serve'); faint thematic resonance of forced decision.
Low confidence'Choose this day whom you will serve' - the demand to declare allegiance to one master. Coheres with 6:16's binary of presenting oneself as slave to sin-unto-death or to obedience-unto-righteousness. Faint, contested.
