Quotation2
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
'He will render to everyone according to his deeds' closely cites 'to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love, for you render to a man according to his work.' Near-verbatim formula of eschatological recompense; the clearest source-citation in the chapter.
High confidence2:6 'who will pay back to everyone according to their works' is a near-verbatim citation of Ps 62:12 (LXX 61:13), 'for you repay to each according to his work' — the foundational judgment maxim Paul deploys against the presumptuous judge.
High confidenceAllusion5
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The Lord will repay him according to his works' reproduces the psalm's confession that God 'renders to every man according to his work.' Paul applies the principle of just recompense to Alexander, leaving vengeance to God rather than himself.
High confidence'You repay each according to his work.' Parallel source for the recompense-by-works formula (Ps 61:13 LXX). Often cited jointly with Prov 24:12 in NT (cf. Rom 2:6).
High confidence'You repay each according to his work' supplies the second half of 1:17 (judges 'according to each one's work'); a fixed retributive formula. Moderate volume, recurs widely.
Medium confidence'You repay everyone according to what they have done' supplies the recompense logic of the judgment seat where each receives according to deeds. Recurrence is notable: this 'render according to works' formula recurs across the OT (Prov 24:12; Jer 17:10) and Paul invokes it at Rom 2:6, supporting its presence here.
Medium confidence"You render to each according to his work" supplies the same recompense principle informing v.25's repayment of the wrongdoer. Reinforces Prov 24:12; the recurrence of "render according to works" across psalm and proverb shows an available, well-attested formula.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'thou renderest to every man according to his work' (LXX kata ta erga autou) — closest lexical parallel to 'each one according to his works'; reinforces Jer 17:10 as the judged-by-works topos.
Medium confidenceThe motif of individual rendering of account to God who judges (14:10,12) resonates with Psalm 62:12 ('you will render to each according to his work'), a verse Paul invokes for judgment-according-to-works at Romans 2:6. The shared judgment-recompense logic links the chapters.
