Doctrine and Covenants D&C 39:4
"But to as many as received me, gave I power to become my sons; and even so will I give unto as many as will receive me, power to become my sons."
New Testament John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

Shared words: as many as received

Two divergences carry weight: the gospel reads 'the sons of God' where the revelation reads 'my sons' (the same substitution appears at D&C 42:52), and the revelation doubles the clause, stating it once in the past and once in the future. The parallel at D&C 11:30, which keeps the gospel's 'the sons of God', is registered on the-call-to-the-labor.md (w1-dc11-sons-god-john).
