Doctrine and Covenants D&C 41:6
"For it is not meet that the things which belong to the children of the kingdom should be given to them that are not worthy, or to dogs, or the pearls to be cast before swine."
New Testament Matthew 7:6
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

Both pair dogs with pearls and swine, of things withheld from the unfit. The Sermon's consequence clause (trampling, rending) is dropped; the revelation supplies a category and a criterion the Sermon does not name. 'pearls before swine' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus — Matthew 7:6 and 3 Nephi 14:6 — and the revelation's inverted wording matches neither word for word, hence allusion rather than shared phrasing.
