Doctrine and Covenants D&C 84:109
"and let not the head say unto the feet it hath no need of the feet; for without the feet how shall the body be able to stand?"
New Testament 1 Corinthians 12:21
"And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you."

The epistle gives two refusals, the revelation only the head-to-feet one; second person becomes third; the revelation adds a question the epistle lacks and continues the figure at 84:110. 'no need of the feet' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus (D&C 84:109), 'I have no need of thee' at exactly one (1 Corinthians 12:21).
