Doctrine and Covenants D&C 105:3
"and do not impart of their substance, as becometh saints, to the poor and afflicted among them;"
Book of Mormon Alma 1:27
"And they did impart of their substance, every man according to that which he had, to the poor, and the needy, and the sick, and the afflicted; and they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely."

Shared words: impart of their substance

The two verses state the same practice in opposite polarity - the record reports a people doing it, the revelation a people not doing it - which is the connection's point. Divergences: the record's measure 'every man according to that which he had' has no counterpart in the revelation, which supplies a standard, 'as becometh saints'; the record's list of recipients runs to four items where the revelation's runs to two. 'impart of their substance' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Alma 1:27, Mosiah 18:27, Mosiah 18:28, and D&C 105:3.
