Doctrine and Covenants D&C 84:77
"And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall call you friends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them"
New Testament John 15:15
"Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends"

Both turn on 'henceforth' and on the naming of friends. The Gospel verse sets the name against 'servants', which the revelation does not; the revelation adds a comparison the Gospel lacks. 'henceforth I call you not servants' and 'I have called you friends' each stand at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus (John 15:15).
