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

1 Tim 3:14-16 ?

Wisdom 'has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars' lends a sapiential resonance to 'house of God' as a pillared structure of truth. Faint and secondary to the temple-pillar imagery.

Low confidence
Matt 11:16-19 ?
