Echo2

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

1 Cor 16:13-14

'Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage' is a near-twin of Psalm 31:24 and feeds the same exhortation tradition Paul reuses. High recurrence within the Psalter strengthens the case, though it overlaps heavily with the Psalm 31 parallel.

Medium confidence
1 Cor 13:7 ?

'Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage' parallels love that 'hopes all things, endures all things.' The recurring OT summons to hopeful endurance and waiting on God undergirds Paul's panta elpizei, panta hypomenei as the posture of covenant trust.
