Doctrine and Covenants D&C 35:13
"Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;"
New Testament 1 Corinthians 1:27
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

Shared words: the weak things of the world

'weak things of the world' stands at exactly three frozen verses: these two and D&C 1:19. Divergences: the epistle pairs weak things with foolish things and gives the purpose as confounding; the revelation gives the purpose as threshing the nations, and adds a description of the called that the epistle does not carry.
