Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Paul introduces with the formula 'as it is written' and cites Psalm 112:9 (LXX 111:9) verbatim: 'He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.' The verbal volume is maximal and the citation explicit, the clearest OT quotation in the chapter. Coherence is strong: the psalm's generous, God-fearing man models the Corinthians' almsgiving, and 'his righteousness' bridges to v.10's harvest of righteousness.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The God-fearer who 'has given to the poor' whose righteousness endures matches the devout, alms-giving, God-fearing Cornelius. Thematic only, no verbal borrowing.
