Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 2:13
"if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:25
"where there is no law given there is no punishment"

Shared words: there is no law

Lehi's and Jacob's law-conditionals share the chained no-law-then-no-consequence form — 2:13 'if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin', 9:25 'where there is no law given there is no punishment' — each continuing into a multi-link sorites. Typed shared-phrasing on the chain form; wording differs ('if ye shall say' vs 'where there is'), so not verbatim. Lehi runs it as reductio, Jacob as mercy-application.
