Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

1 Thess 4:1-8

'O LORD, God of vengeance' (LXX Ps 93:1) supplies the divine title 'avenger' that Paul applies. The psalm's plea for God to requite oppressors parallels Paul's warning that the Lord avenges the defrauded.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

Rom 12:9-21 ?

'O LORD, God of vengeance' confirms that retribution belongs to God alone — the theological premise of 12:19 that Paul anchors in Deuteronomy 32:35; possible secondary resonance.
