Doctrine and Covenants D&C 130:3
"John 14:23—The appearing of the Father and the Son, in that verse, is a personal appearance; and the idea that the Father and the Son dwell in a man's heart is an old sectarian notion, and is false."
New Testament John 14:23
"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."

The verse names its source exactly — book, chapter, and verse, printed as the first three characters of the sentence — and then rules on how that verse is to be read rather than quoting it: the coming and abiding of the two persons is 'a personal appearance' and not an indwelling of the heart. The element the citation points at is singular and identifiable: 'we will come unto him, and make our abode with him' (John 14:23), a clause standing at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus. 'the appearing of the Father and the Son' and 'an old sectarian notion' each stand at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus, D&C 130:3. Reported as citation-plus-reading; whether the reading is right is a question about the gospel verse that the wiki does not answer for it. A named citation without a quotation: minted on the Ezra precedent (D&C 85:12, which likewise cites by book, chapter, and verse without reproducing any wording) — the endpoint is given by the source, not chosen by the wiki.
