Doctrine and Covenants D&C 101:40
"therefore, if that salt of the earth lose its savor, behold, it is thenceforth good for nothing only to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men."
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 12:13
"The salt shall be thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men."

Shared words: to be cast out and

Divergences: the record's verse asks a question the revelation drops ('wherewith shall the earth be salted?'); 'only' stands where the record has 'but'; and the closing phrase differs by one preposition and an article. 'trodden under the feet of men' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus; 'trodden under foot of men' at four - 3 Nephi 12:13, Matthew 5:13, Alma 34:29, and D&C 103:10. 'salt of the earth' stands at four: these two, Matthew 5:13, and D&C 101:39. The revelation supplies a condition for the title the record does not (D&C 101:39).
