Echo2

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

2 Thess 3:6-12 ?

'Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty' echoes Paul's bread-and-work logic and his complaint about busybodies pursuing nothing useful.

Low confidence
Eph 4:28 ?

The honest-labor-versus-theft contrast and giving 'to him who has need' echoes wisdom's praise of working one's land and of generosity to the poor (cf. Prov 14:21, 31). Volume is low and the parallel is thematic, so the echo is faint but coherent with the almsgiving aim.
