Echo3

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

Rom 7:13-25 ?

'I delight in God's law after the inward man' (7:22) echoes the blessed one whose 'delight is in the law of the LORD'; Paul affirms the psalmist's delight even as he reports its frustration by the flesh.

Medium confidence
Acts 17:10-15 ?

The Beroeans 'examining the Scriptures daily' figurally images the blessed one who meditates on the law day and night; thematic coherence only, no verbal borrowing.

Low confidence
Col 3:15-17 ?

The word dwelling in believers richly resonates with the blessed one whose delight is in the law, meditating on it day and night. Low volume and contested; thematic overlap (the indwelling, treasured word) without lexical contact.
