Doctrine and Covenants D&C 130:11
"And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the celestial kingdom, whereon is a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. The new name is the key word."
New Testament Revelation 2:17
"and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

Shared words: a new name written, which no man knoweth

Thirteen consecutive words align, and the whole divergence inside them is one word: the vision's 'saving' reads 'save'. Counted as printed the run breaks there, the longest unbroken stretch being eight words, 'a new name written, which no man knoweth'. 'a new name written' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, these two. The forms sort the corpus cleanly: 'no man knoweth saving' stands at exactly one frozen verse, Revelation 2:17; 'no man knoweth save' at four — 3 Nephi 8:16, D&C 6:24, D&C 15:3, D&C 16:3 — plus this verse, none of the four about a stone. Outside the shared run the recipients differ: 'him that overcometh' (Revelation 2:17) against 'each of those who come into the celestial kingdom' (D&C 130:11). This verse adds a sentence with no counterpart in the corpus: 'The new name is the key word.' — 'the key word' stands at exactly one frozen verse, this one. Second of two records on the same vision verse; ext-dc130-10-rev2-17 carries the naming. The naming stands one verse earlier at D&C 130:10 and carries under the adjacent-verse rule (precedent: D&C 76:15's naming carried to the quotation at 76:17).
