Doctrine and Covenants D&C 63:59
"Behold, I am from above, and my power lieth beneath. I am over all, and in all, and through all, and search all things, and the day cometh that all things shall be subject unto me."
New Testament Ephesians 4:6
"One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

Shared words: all, and through all, and

The same three prepositions govern the same word in both, with the letter's order inverted in the middle: the letter runs above / through / in, this verse over / in / through. Divergences: the letter's first term is 'above all' and this verse's 'over all'; the letter's third phrase is 'in you all', naming the hearers as the thing indwelt, where this verse has 'in all' with no such object; and the letter states the predicates of 'One God and Father of all' in the third person where this verse states them in the first. 'in all, and through all' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus — this verse and D&C 88:6, 'that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth' — and 'over all, and in all' at exactly one, this verse. This verse continues into two clauses the letter does not carry, 'search all things' and 'all things shall be subject unto me', each standing at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus.
