Book of Mormon Mosiah 26:27

Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:16
"they who are filthy are the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire, prepared for them"

Shared words: the devil and his angels

The phrases 'everlasting fire' and 'the devil and his angels' each occur only in these two verses within the record. Across the frozen corpus 'everlasting fire' adds Matthew 18:8, 25:41 and D&C 29:28, and 'the devil and his angels' adds Matthew 25:41 and D&C 29:28, 29:37, 76:33, 76:36, 76:44 (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze). The two phrases meet at two corpus verses, not one: Matthew 25:41 and D&C 29:28, which reads 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels' — so the meeting-point wording both record verses echo is no longer confined to Matthew. Syntax inverts: Jacob - the filthy ARE the devil and his angels, fire 'prepared for them'; Mosiah 26 - fire 'prepared for the devil and his angels', the condemned depart into it. Speaker at the Mosiah end is the Lord himself ('the voice of the Lord came to him,' 26:14), in the church-discipline revelation to Alma the Elder, closing the same revelation that grounds forgiveness in himself (26:22-23).
