Doctrine and Covenants D&C 62:1
"Behold, and hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God, even Jesus Christ, your advocate, who knoweth the weakness of man and how to succor them who are tempted."
New Testament Hebrews 2:18
"For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."

Shared words: are tempted

Divergences: the epistle grounds the succouring in the sufferer's own experience of temptation, which the revelation's verse does not state; the revelation grounds it in knowledge — of the weakness of man, and of how. The spelling of the verb differs ('succor' / 'succour'). The nearest Book of Mormon statement, Alma 7:12, grounds the same capacity in a taking-on of infirmities — disclosed, not paired.
