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

Matt 7:7-11

'As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion' — the very father-to-children analogy of 7:11.

Medium confidence
1 Thess 2:9-12 ?

'As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.' Reinforces the fatherly-tenderness simile of v. 11. Faint verbal tie but strongly coherent with the divine-father topos Paul applies to his own pastoral role.
