Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

1 Cor 10:14-22

'Every male among the priests may eat of it... it is most holy' establishes that eating the sacrifice joins one to the altar's holiness, the premise of v.18. Coherence with Paul's participation argument.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

1 Cor 9:13-14 ?

'Every male among the priests may eat of it... it is most holy' (the guilt offering) reinforces the altar-servants-share-the-altar logic of v.13b. A faint recurrence within the Levitical priestly-portion stream, contested against the fuller Num 18 / Deut 18 basis.
