Book of Mormon Mosiah 16:4
"they would have been endlessly lost were it not that God redeemed his people from their lost and fallen state"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 10:6
"all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state, and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer"

Shared words: lost and

Same word-pair ('lost…fallen state'), same universal subject ('all mankind' in both verses - 16:4 opens 'Thus all mankind were lost'), same counterfactual rescue-clause hinged on the Redeemer. Third carrier of the pair: 2 Nephi 25:17 (Israel's national restoration sense). Cf. Mosiah 4:5 'worthless and fallen state'. 1 Nephi 10:6 is Nephi reporting Lehi's teaching (10:2-6 framing verified).
