Shared words: part in the first resurrection

The term 'first resurrection' stands at exactly fifteen verses in the corpus (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze): Mosiah 15:21, 15:22, 15:24, 15:26, 18:9; Alma 40:15, 40:16, 40:17; in the Bible, only Revelation 20:5 and 20:6; and D&C 45:54, 63:18, 76:64, 132:19, 132:26. The closer run 'part in the first resurrection' stands at exactly six verses: Mosiah 15:24, 15:26 (negated — 'no part in the first resurrection'), Revelation 20:6, and D&C 45:54, 63:18, 76:64, all three of which carry the run exactly — so the closer run no longer isolates the registered pair, and the definitional divergences below, not the run's rarity, are what the record now shows. Divergences reported, not scored: Revelation binds the term to the thousand years ('until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection' — 20:5) and attaches immunity from the second death (20:6); Abinadi defines it as the resurrection of those down to the resurrection of Christ (Mosiah 15:21-22), extending it to those who died in ignorance (15:24) and to little children (15:25); Alma 40:16-17 carries the same down-to-Christ definition and rejects a resurrection-of-the-soul reading. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). Distinct from mos-abinadi-first-resurrection (Mosiah 15:24 to Mosiah 18:9, hosted on abinadi.md), which tracks the term's in-corpus passage from Abinadi into the baptismal covenant.
