Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 12:13
"I give unto you to be the salt of the earth; but if the salt shall lose its savor wherewith shall the earth be salted?"
New Testament Matthew 5:13
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?"

Shared words: the salt of the earth; but if the salt

The salt saying. Two variants: 3 Nephi 12:13 reads 'I give unto you to be' where Matthew 5:13 reads 'Ye are', and 'wherewith shall the earth be salted' where Matthew reads 'wherewith shall it be salted'. The shared spine is the salt-of-the-earth figure and the lost-savour clause.
