Book of Mormon Helaman 5:8
"lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, yea, which is eternal, and which fadeth not away"
Book of Mormon Helaman 8:25
"instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where nothing doth corrupt"

Shared words: up for yourselves

Internal pair: the treasure-in-heaven figure ('a treasure in heaven', 5:8; 'treasures in heaven', 8:25 and 3 Nephi 13:20) occurs at three verses in the record — Helaman 5:8, 8:25, and 3 Nephi 13:20 in the Sermon on the Mount (zero occurrences 1 Nephi through Alma, so the Helaman pair remains the record's first); corpus-wide the frozen New Testament adds Matthew 6:20, Matthew 19:21, Mark 10:21, and Luke 18:22 (seven in all). The father's testament states the figure positively (5:8, Helaman to his sons); the son's tower sermon states it negatively (8:25, Nephi to the crowd). The Matthew 6:19-20 wording stands in-corpus at 3 Nephi 13:20.
