Doctrine and Covenants D&C 19:27
"that they may believe the gospel, and look not for a Messiah to come who has already come."
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 25:18
"and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah which should deceive the people"

Shared words: for a Messiah to come

The run 'a Messiah to come' stands at exactly these two frozen verses. Both attach the clause to a book of words sent to convince a people that the Messiah they await has already come. Divergences: Nephi reads 'look forward any more for a Messiah to come', the revelation 'look not for a Messiah to come'; Nephi's warning continues into a false Messiah, the revelation's into a completed coming ('who has already come').
