Doctrine and Covenants D&C 42:68
"Therefore, he that lacketh wisdom, let him ask of me, and I will give him liberally and upbraid him not."
New Testament James 1:5
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

Registered as allusion, not shared phrasing: the sequence of ideas is common but no run of four words stands verbatim in both. Divergences: the epistle's third-person 'of God… that giveth' becomes the first-person 'of me, and I will give' in the revelation, which is the lane's ordinary voice difference and not a variant reading; 'upbraideth not' becomes 'upbraid him not'; the epistle's closing 'and it shall be given him' has no counterpart in the revelation. 'upbraid him not' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus, and 'upbraideth not' at exactly one.
