Doctrine and Covenants D&C 31:5
"Therefore, thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your back, for the laborer is worthy of his hire."
New Testament Luke 10:7
"And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire."

Shared words: is worthy of his hire

The sentence is word-for-word but for the spelling of its first noun ('laborer' / 'labourer'). Divergences: the gospel's principle governs staying put in one house; the revelation's is attached to the harvest figure and to a promise about the missionary's family. In the modern spelling the sentence stands at three frozen verses: D&C 31:5, 84:79, and 106:3.
