Book of Mormon Enos 1:16
"he covenanted with me that he would bring them forth unto the Lamanites in his own due time"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 27:21
"Touch not the things which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in mine own due time"

Shared words: own due time

In the record, 'due time': exactly 10 hits — 1 Nephi 10:3, 1 Nephi 14:26, 2 Nephi 27:10, 2 Nephi 27:21, Enos 1:16, 3 Nephi 5:25, 3 Nephi 20:29, Mormon 5:12, Ether 3:24, Ether 3:27 (the two 3 Nephi uses are covenant-timing, not record-timing; the two Ether uses ('in my own due time', 3:24; 'in mine own due time', 3:27) are the sealed interpreter-stones revelation — record-timing). Enos 1:16, 2 Nephi 27:21, and Mormon 5:12 ('they are to be hid up unto the Lord that they may come forth in his own due time') join 'bring them forth' to 'own due time' in the record-timing sense; 27:21 remains the registered prior end. Corpus-wide the bare phrase stands at thirty-eight frozen verses (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze) — besides the ten record hits, four New Testament 'in due time' idioms (Romans 5:6, 1 Corinthians 15:8, 1 Peter 5:6, 1 Timothy 2:6), Deuteronomy 32:35, Joseph Smith—History 1:72 (Pearl of Great Price), and twenty-two in the Doctrine and Covenants, twelve of which carry the same 'in mine own due time' record-timing sense the Ether uses carry. At corpus scope the formula is therefore common rather than rare, though the registered record-timing pairing turns on the sense, not the frequency. Outside the verse field the phrase stands once more, in the Book of Mormon title page's third paragraph, which the corpus's verse counts do not count.
