Book of Mormon Mosiah 3:20
"the time shall come when the knowledge of a Savior shall spread throughout every nation, kindred, tongue, and people"
New Testament Revelation 14:6
"having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people"

Offered to weigh. Both verses attach the identical four-term sequence — nation, kindred, tongue, people, in that order — to the universal spread of the gospel. What is textual: the sequence and the order. What keeps this interpretive rather than shared phrasing: the formula is stock in both texts rather than a distinctive one-to-one pairing. 'kindred, tongue, and people' stands at six Book of Mormon verses (Mosiah 3:20, 15:28, 16:1; 2 Nephi 26:13; Alma 37:4, 45:16); 'kindred, and tongue, and people' at Revelation 5:9, 14:6 and D&C 133:37 (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze); and the plural 'kindreds, tongues, and people' at a further six Book of Mormon verses (1 Nephi 5:18, 11:36, 13:40, 14:11, 22:28; 2 Nephi 30:8). Revelation varies its own order (5:9 ends with 'nation'; 7:9 reads 'nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues'). Reported without scoring: 'everlasting gospel' stands at twenty-four verses in the corpus (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze) — Revelation 14:6, Joseph Smith—History 1:34, and twenty-two in the Doctrine and Covenants — and has no Book of Mormon occurrence. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
