Echo2

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

1 Pet 1:22-25 ?

Humanity 'like grass that is renewed in the morning... in the evening it fades and withers' is another grass-mortality witness underlining the perishable-vs-enduring contrast of 1:23-25. Faint, thematic.

Low confidence
Matt 6:25-34 ?

Humanity 'like grass which grows up. In the morning it flourishes... in the evening it is cut down' — the grass-of-the-field's day-long life behind v.30.
