Concerning "Everywhere" (1Cor 1,2): Resonances of Cultic Promises?

Resumen:
Within the NT, the expression (sic) is found only in the Pauline corpus (1Cor 1,2; 2Cor 2,14; 1Thess 1,8; 1Tim 2,8). In 1Cor 1,2, traditionally the phrase has been considered as having an adverbial sense. However, the presence of the specific adverb (sic) for conveying the same meaning in 4,17 might point to some intentionality in the use of (sic) in the initial greetings and not only to preferences of style. The almost total absence of the expression (sic) in extrabiblical Greek against a well-attested presence in the OT Greek as a translation of suggests that in 1Cor 1,2 the phrase is a Semitism that echoes a cultic OT usage.
