Matthew 25:30 calls the servant 'worthless' (same Greek root achreios) — directly echoing Onesimus's former uselessness.

Luke 15:24 describes the prodigal son as dead then alive — a direct parallel to Onesimus's restoration from useless to useful.

Luke 15:32 repeats the 'dead to alive' pattern — echoing the joy of Onesimus's transformation from useless to useful.

Luke 17:10 uses 'unworthy servants' (achreioi douloi) — the same Greek term for useless, linking to Onesimus's past.

Romans 3:12 says all have become 'worthless' (achreioi) — the same word Paul applies to Onesimus's former state, highlighting grace.

2 Timothy 4:11 calls Mark 'very useful' (euchrestos) — the identical Greek word Paul uses for Onesimus's new state.

1 Peter 2:10 uses the 'once... but now' pattern for spiritual transformation — mirroring Onesimus's change from useless to useful.
