Book of Mormon Helaman 5:32
"Repent ye, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"

Shared words: Repent ye, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

The doubled cry stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two. The single form stands once more, at Matthew 3:2 ('Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'), disclosed not paired, because the doubling is what distinguishes the pair. Divergences: in the revelation the words are what a baptizer says; in Helaman they are what a voice says, and Helaman's verse continues 'and seek no more to destroy my servants', which the revelation has no counterpart for.
