Doctrine and Covenants D&C 55:2
"to be an elder unto this church, to preach repentance and remission of sins by way of baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God."
Book of Mormon Moroni 3:3
"In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest (or if he be a teacher, I ordain you to be a teacher) to preach repentance and remission of sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to the end. Amen."

Shared words: to preach repentance and remission of sins

The five-word run 'to preach repentance and remission of sins' stands at exactly these two distinct frozen verses in the corpus. Divergences: elder against priest or teacher; the revelation attaches the preaching to baptism, Moroni to endurance of faith to the end; Moroni gives the words the ordainer says, the revelation the words that appoint. Cross-section evidence quoted from raw — section 55 itself is W3-drained.
