Doctrine and Covenants D&C 4:7
"Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 27:29
"ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Shared words: Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you

Eleven words identical (the initial capital differs only because the revelation opens its verse with the clause). The couplet stands at five frozen verses: these two, D&C 49:26, 66:9, 88:63. The sister revelations carry a second-person conditional instead — 'if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you' (D&C 6:5, 11:5, 12:5, 14:5) — a different wording, not paired here.
