Shared words: the wearing of costly apparel

The exact phrase 'the wearing of costly apparel' occurs at exactly two corpus verses: 4 Nephi 1:24 and Alma 5:53. The broader marker 'costly apparel' is an 8-hit recurring family: 4 Nephi 1:24; Alma 1:6 ('very costly apparel'), 1:27 (inverted, 'did not wear costly apparel'), 1:32; Alma 4:6 ('very costly apparel'); Alma 5:53; Alma 31:28; Helaman 13:28 ('clothe him with costly apparel') — the standing sign of Nephite apostasy this page tracks from Jacob 2:13. 4 Nephi 1:24 is the marker's post-visitation recurrence, at the two-hundred-and-first-year pride onset. 3 Nephi 6:10-12 is thematically adjacent but contains no 'costly apparel', so it is not the phrase-pair far end.
