Doctrine and Covenants D&C 33:13
"And upon this rock I will build my church; yea, upon this rock ye are built, and if ye continue, the gates of hell shall not prevail against you."
New Testament Matthew 16:18
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Shared words: And upon this rock I will build my church

Divergences: the gospel identifies the rock in the same breath with a man addressed by name, which the revelation's verse does not do; and the revelation makes the promise conditional ('if ye continue') where the gospel states it flatly. 'upon this rock I will build my church' stands at exactly three frozen verses: these two and D&C 128:10, where the revelation cites Matthew 16:18-19 by chapter and verse (registered as its own source-asserted pairs, w7-dc128-peter-rock-matt16 and w7-dc128-keys-bind-matt16). The gates-of-hell clause stands at nine frozen verses, including 3 Nephi 11:39 and D&C 10:69, which are paired with each other on the-lost-writings.md.
