Book of Mormon Moroni 6:4
"relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith"
New Testament Hebrews 12:2
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith"

Shared words: the author and

Christ carries the author-and-finisher-of-faith title at both ends -- near-verbatim. Variants reported, not scored: Moroni 6:4 carries 'the' before 'finisher' and reads 'their faith'; Hebrews reads 'our faith'. DISTRIBUTION / METHOD NOTE: an exact-string grep for 'author and finisher' returns Hebrews 12:2 ONLY; the near-form 'author and the finisher' (the article Hebrews lacks) is what surfaces Moroni 6:4 -- so the author-and-finisher title = exactly TWO corpus loci. Near-forms matter here: a case-only or article-only search would miss the Moroni 6:4 near-form. Page-host is a judgment call: proposed on faith-hope-charity.md (a faith-title); alternatives messiah.md or atonement.md. Class (c): Moroni narrates church practice in his own voice, names no source; origin out of scope.
