Doctrine and Covenants D&C 42:23
"And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit; and if he repents not he shall be cast out."
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 12:28
"whosoever looketh on a woman, to lust after her, hath committed adultery already in his heart."

Shared words: a woman to lust after her

Divergences: the two verses state different consequences from the same clause - the sermon states what the man has already done, the revelation what will happen to him, attaching the same cast-out penalty its neighbouring clauses carry. 'looketh on a woman to lust after her' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: 3 Nephi 12:28, Matthew 5:28, and D&C 63:16. The revelation's 'looketh upon a woman to lust after her', with 'upon', stands at exactly one. 3 Nephi is paired as the nearest whole-clause match; Matthew and D&C 63:16 are disclosed.
