Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Let a man examine himself' (v.28) echoes the psalmist's plea, 'Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.' Self-scrutiny before approaching God is the shared logic; medium volume given the verbal field of testing/proving.
Medium confidencePaul's 'Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves' resonates with the psalmist's 'Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.' Volume is moderate through shared testing/proving vocabulary in the self-scrutiny tradition. Coherence is high since both concern verifying genuine standing before God.
