Doctrine and Covenants D&C 39:3
"The same which came in the meridian of time unto mine own, and mine own received me not;"
New Testament John 1:11
"He came unto his own, and his own received him not."

Shared words: own received

The divergence is grammatical person — the revelation speaks in the first person of itself, the gospel in the third — plus one addition: 'in the meridian of time' has no counterpart in the gospel verse. That phrase stands at six frozen verses, four of them in Moses. The first-person form of the clause also stands at D&C 6:21 (registered on oliver-cowdery.md as w1-dc6-own-received-john), 10:57, 11:29, 45:8, and 3 Nephi 9:16.
