Book of Mormon Mormon 8:14
"no one shall have them to get gain; but the record thereof is of great worth"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 26:17
"written and sealed up in a book, and those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them"

Moroni identifies the record he hides with Nephi's prophesied sealed book: the record 'written and sealed up in a book' that certain hands 'shall not have'. The shared element is the withheld, sealed-up record ('no one shall have them' / 'those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them'). 2 Nephi 26:17 carries NO 'gain' wording, so the not-for-gain half of Mormon 8:14 answers instead to the priestcraft-gain of 2 Nephi 26:29 ('that they may get gain and praise of the world') as a note-level echo, not this record's leg. Leg: Mormon 8:16 continues the same record 'brought out of the earth' into light.
