Book of Mormon Mormon 8:37
"ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 28:13
"They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their fine clothing"

The companion leg, churches-lifted-up Mormon 8:28 ↔ 2 Nephi 28:12, is registered on two-churches.md. Moroni's latter-day catalog (Mormon 8:36–37) restates Nephi's latter-day-churches indictment (2 Nephi 28:12–13): corrupt churches prizing fine dress and adorned buildings above the poor. Paraphrase, not verbatim — 8:37 reads 'fine apparel' where 28:13 reads 'fine clothing'; 'fine apparel' is a 2-hit phrase (Mormon 8:36 'very fine apparel', 8:37), 'fine clothing' 1-hit (2 Nephi 28:13). The historical rehearsal of the same decline is 4 Nephi 1:24–27. 2 Nephi 28:14 is also this page's 'wear stiff necks and high heads' locus (jac-riches-apparel); Mormon 8:36's 'wearing of very fine apparel' rejoins the costly-apparel family (4ne-riches-costly-apparel note).
