Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The sapiential principle that 'the liberal soul shall be made fat, and he who waters will himself be watered' parallels Paul's promise that giving leads to being 'enriched in everything.' The reciprocal-blessing logic matches, but the link is conceptual and contested rather than verbal. Included as a maximal flag in the generosity-enrichment cluster.
Low confidenceOnesiphorus 'often refreshed me' and the prayer for his reward echoes 'whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.' The one-who-refreshes-will-be-refreshed proverb closely matches the language and logic of Paul's blessing.
