Pearl of Great Price Articles of Faith 1:10
"that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent"
Book of Mormon Ether 13:6
"that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph"

Shared words: New Jerusalem

Shared distinctive proper title 'New Jerusalem' plus the build-upon-the-land frame ('built upon' / 'built up upon'). Thin as distinctive phrasing, so the record is on the title term, not on any larger clause; both quotes are contiguous verbatim runs from their own verse. Textual-fact divergence reported, not smoothed: Article 10 locates the city on 'the American continent', where the corpus says 'upon this land' (Ether 13:4, 6, 8) and 'in this land' (3 Nephi 20:22) -- the Book of Mormon never uses the words 'American continent', and whether 'this land' IS that continent is an external real-world geographic question out of scope. Corpus distribution of the capitalized title 'New Jerusalem' (the frozen KJV Revelation instances, 3:12 and 21:2, are lowercase 'new Jerusalem' and sit outside the capitalized rule): 3 Nephi 20:22, 21:23, 21:24 and Ether 13:3, 4, 6, 10 (Ether 13:5 uses lowercase 'new Jerusalem' inside a negation), plus Moses 7:62 (Pearl of Great Price) and now Articles of Faith 1:10. The Ether 13:3 <-> 3 Nephi 20:22 pairing is hosted on new-jerusalem.md (eth-nj-partner-discourse); the Moses 7:62 <-> 3 Nephi 20:22 pairing on enoch.md (pogp-enoch-01); this record adds the distinct Articles of Faith 1:10 near end. Like Moses 7:62 ('called Zion, a New Jerusalem'), Article 10 pairs 'Zion' with 'New Jerusalem' in one breath. The doctrine that these are one city on one land is carried on new-jerusalem.md, not asserted in this record. No verse-pair collision: no Articles of Faith verse was previously in the register.
