Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 14:17
"the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil"
New Testament Revelation 17:5
"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

Shared words: the mother of harlots

The title 'the mother of harlots' stands at exactly four verses in the corpus: 1 Nephi 13:34, 14:16, 14:17, and Revelation 17:5 (case-insensitive search of the corpus). In the corpus, the Revelation title is rendered wholly in capitals. Two further facts, reported without scoring: the Book of Mormon's companion title 'the mother of abominations' (1 Nephi 14:9, 14:10, 14:16; expanded at 14:13 to 'the great mother of abominations') has no counterpart anywhere else in the corpus, while Revelation 17:5 conjoins harlots and abominations and the earth in one title; and 'ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH' stands only at Revelation 17:5. The corpus gives no account of the relationship between the two passages; the origin of the parallel is outside this wiki's scope. Position-paper class (c). asserted_by wiki.
