Doctrine and Covenants D&C 56:2
"And he that will not take up his cross and follow me, and keep my commandments, the same shall not be saved."
New Testament Matthew 16:24
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Shared words: take up his cross and follow me

'take up his cross' stands at four frozen verses: this one, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, and Luke 9:23, the last adding 'daily'. Divergences: the gospel states the requirement positively, as an invitation with a self-denial clause; the revelation states it negatively, adds the keeping of commandments as a third term, and attaches a consequence the gospel verse does not carry.
