Book of Mormon Alma 34:38

"whosoever should worship God in spirit and in truth, the true and the living God, the Lamanites would destroy"

Shared words: in spirit and in truth

Internal pair. 'in spirit and in truth' occurs at exactly two verses in the record — Alma 34:38 and Alma 43:10; corpus-wide the frozen New Testament adds John 4:23 and 4:24 (four corpus). Amulek's worship-charge to the cast-out Zoramite poor (answering 'we have no place to worship our God', 32:5) becomes, nine chapters later, the casus-belli definition of the people Moroni's armies defend. The John 4:23-24 parallel is in-corpus (frozen), logged rather than drawn as this internal pair's endpoint.
