Book of Mormon Ether 12:6
"faith is things which are hoped for and not seen"
New Testament Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Shared words: hoped for

Moroni's editorial faith-definition set beside Hebrews 11:1. Shared-phrasing on the faith / hoped-for / not-seen kernel; NOT near-verbatim -- each quote is verbatim in its own verse but no contiguous run of 4+ words spans both (shared two-word runs are 'faith is', 'hoped for,' and 'not seen'). Ether 12:6 already anchors the internal record eth-faith-definition (Ether 12:6 <-> Alma 32:21, hosted alma-the-younger.md); this adds the Hebrews 11:1 endpoint. Companion to heb-w1-04, which pairs the same Hebrews 11:1 with Alma 32:21 (the verse Moroni is glossing). Class (c): Moroni speaks in his own editorial voice ('I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things … I would show unto the world'), names no source; origin out of scope.
