Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently' undergirds Paul's father-to-children stance closing with the choice 'Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love?' (vv.14-21). The paternal-discipline rod is drawn from Proverbs' instruction tradition and coheres with Paul calling them his beloved children.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The instruction not to 'provoke children to wrath' but to nurture them tempers the wisdom theme of disciplined child-rearing found in Proverbs. The connection is conceptual coherence within the household-instruction tradition, hence a faint, contested echo.
