Echo2

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

John 18:1-11 ?

'Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call' offers another lament instance of foes turning back before the trusting sufferer, coherent with the soldiers' collapse. Low confidence as one of several overlapping psalm parallels rather than a distinct verbal source.

Low confidence
Rom 8:31-39 ?

'This I know, that God is for me' is a near-verbal antecedent to 'God is for us' (v.31), the confidence that God's siding with the petitioner routs adversaries.
