Doctrine and Covenants D&C 130:1
"When the Savior shall appear we shall see him as he is. We shall see that he is a man like ourselves."
New Testament 1 John 3:2
"but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

Shared words: we shall see him as he is

Seven consecutive words match without variation, as printed and under every fold: 'we shall see him as he is'. The run stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: 1 John 3:2, Moroni 7:48, and D&C 130:1. The two older carriers make the seeing the ground of a likeness predicated of us ('we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is', 1 John 3:2; 'that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is', Moroni 7:48); this verse keeps the clause and reverses which side the likeness is asserted of — what is seen is that 'he is a man like ourselves' (D&C 130:1), a phrase standing at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus. The inversion is reported as a textual fact and not interpreted.
