Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Eph 4:4-6

'The LORD will be one and his name one' supplies the eschatological monotheism behind 'one Lord... one God.' Volume is moderate; the verse extends the Shema toward the universal lordship ('over all, through all') Paul affirms. Availability and coherence are solid.

Medium confidence

Echo2

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

1 Cor 8:4-6

"The LORD will be king over all the earth; on that day the LORD will be one and his name one" is an eschatological echo of the Shema that, like Paul, projects the one-LORD confession onto all reality. Coheres with Paul's universalizing "of whom are all things" in v.6. Echo, marked for its Shema reworking.

Medium confidence
John 19:13-16 ?

'The LORD shall be king over all the earth' may be ironically inverted by 'We have no king but Caesar.' Faint; the kingship motif is dense here but the verbal link is loose.
