Echo2

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

Matt 13:36-43 ?

'Let those who love him be like the sun rising in its might' — solar radiance as the destiny of the faithful; faint verbal kinship with shining 'like the sun.'

Low confidence
Rev 1:12–16 ?

'His face was like the sun shining at its brightest' may echo the 'sun rising in its strength' of Deborah's song (and cf. Mal 4:2, the sun of righteousness). Faint, image-level echo with no distinctive shared phrasing, hence low and contested.
