Echo2

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

Gal 6:6-10

"Whoever sows righteousness gets a sure reward" matches the positive pole of Paul's harvest ("sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life," v.8) and the promise of v.9 that doing good will reap in due season. Part of the wisdom sowing-cluster; offered as a corroborating echo rather than a single source.

Jas 3:13-18

'One who sows righteousness gets a sure reward' (cf. 11:30, 'the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life') reinforces the harvest-of-righteousness figure.
