Doctrine and Covenants D&C 88:126
"Pray always, that ye may not faint, until I come. Behold, and lo, I will come quickly, and receive you unto myself. Amen."
New Testament Luke 18:1
"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;"

The shared material is the pairing of praying always with not fainting; the connective wording differs in every word, which is why this is registered as allusion. 'Pray always, that ye may not faint' stands at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus, this one. The gospel's own wording stands at exactly two — Luke 18:1 and D&C 101:81, 'for men ought always to pray and not to faint, which saith—', which reproduces the clause and names the parable it introduces; that verse is hosted on the-redemption-of-zion.md and is disclosed here rather than paired. So the corpus carries the saying twice in the gospel's words and once, here, in its own. Divergence: the gospel states a general lesson drawn from a parable, and this verse attaches the praying to a terminus the parable does not name, 'until I come'.
