Echo2

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

Jas 1:12 ?

Zechariah's 'crown' set in the temple as a memorial provides faint background to James's promised 'crown of life' for those who endure. The royal/priestly crown imagery is suggestive but not directly quoted.

Low confidence
Phil 4:1 ?

Paul's calling the Philippians his 'crown' (stephanos) echoes the prophetic image of a crown laid up as a memorial and reward in the temple, and more broadly the OT crown-of-glory motif (Isaiah 28:5; 62:3). Volume is faint and the metaphor is conventional, but coherence with the eschatological reward imagery available in the prophets supports a low-grade echo.
