Doctrine and Covenants D&C 6:2
"give heed unto my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow"
New Testament Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Shared words: to the dividing asunder of

Divergences: the epistle reads 'quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword' (three coordinated terms, 'any', 'twoedged' as one word) where the revelation reads 'quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword'; the epistle divides 'soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow', the revelation 'both joints and marrow' only; the epistle's discerner clause has no counterpart here. That clause does appear in a later section carrying the same opening — D&C 33:1, 'soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart' — which stands nearer the epistle than any section in this range. The revelation's own opening repeats verbatim at D&C 11:2, 12:2, 14:2.
