Book of Mormon Moroni 6:7

Book of Mormon Mosiah 26:36
"the same were not numbered among the people of the church, and their names were blotted out"

Shared words: were not numbered among the people of

The three-witness discipline procedure in Moroni's church-order rubric (Moroni 6:7 -- 'three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the elders, and if they repented not, and confessed not') executes the discipline charter the Lord revealed to the elder Alma (Mosiah 26:29-36). Both ends carry the same two idioms in reversed order: 'their names were blotted out' and the not-numbered clause — 26:36 'not numbered among the people of the church', 6:7 'not numbered among the people of Christ'. Distribution: 'blotted out' stands at 7 verses in the record -- Mosiah 1:12, 5:11, 26:36; Alma 1:24, 5:57, 6:3; Moroni 6:7 (consistent with the mos-church-blotted-out register note); corpus-wide the frozen scriptures add six more (Isaiah 44:22, Psalms 69:28, 109:13, 109:14, Nehemiah 4:5, Acts 3:19) -- thirteen in all. Distinct-pair: mos-church-blotted-out pairs Mosiah 5:11 <-> Mosiah 26:36; this record pairs Moroni 6:7 <-> Mosiah 26:36 -- shared far end, different near end, no verse-pair collision.
