Doctrine and Covenants D&C 33:7
"Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is white already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength."
Book of Mormon Alma 26:5
"Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves!"

Shared words: reap with

Divergences: the revelation commands in the future, the Book of Mormon verse reports in the past; the revelation's field is white already to harvest, the record's was ripe; the revelation extends the might-clause with mind and strength. The sheaves that close the record's verse recur two verses later in the revelation, at D&C 33:9 — disclosed, not paired.
