Reading through Ephesians 5 - is there any record of what Paul is quoting?

score:3

My copy of "The Comprehensive New Testament" (Edited by T E & J Clontz, published by Cornerstone) lists a number of cross-references for Eph 5:14.

Isa 26:19, 51:17, 52;1, 60:1
4 Ezra 2:31
Odes of Solomon 15:2
Sibylline Oracles 1.371
Archelaus, Disputation with Manes 43
Clement of Alexandria, Exhortation to the Heathen 11
Hippolytus, Refutation of all Heresies Book V.2; Treatise on Christ and Antichrist 65
Nag Hammadi - Gospel of Truth 33

Note that these do not mean that all these are sources for Eph 5:14, far from it. The OT references are probably the sources. It simply means that all these references have similar wording or ideas. This means that some of the later references could be quoting or alluding to Ephesians; or, they could both be quoting from a common (now lost) sources. We cannot be sure.
