Book of Mormon Mosiah 15:9
"standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:26
"the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who have not the law given to them"

Shared words: the demands of

The formula — 'satisfied the demands of justice' (Mosiah 15:9) / 'satisfieth the demands of his justice' (2 Nephi 9:26) — occurs in the record only at these two verses. The phrase 'demands of' otherwise appears at Mosiah 2:38 (Benjamin's 'the demands of divine justice' - the no-atonement case where the demands land on the man; cited on page as third witness), and in Alma - 34:16 twice ('mercy can satisfy the demands of justice' and 'the whole law of the demands of justice', registered separately as alma-amulek-mercy-justice) and 42:15 ('appease the demands of justice'). Alma 34:16's 'satisfy the demands of justice' takes MERCY, not the atonement, as subject, so it sits outside this note's satisfied/satisfieth-the-demands pair. Distinctive to Abinadi: the spatial image 'standing betwixt them and justice'. Second record alongside mos-atone-mercy-claim - judged two distinct idioms (mercy's claim vs justice's demands).
