Doctrine and Covenants D&C 51:19
"And whoso is found a faithful, a just, and a wise steward shall enter into the joy of his Lord, and shall inherit eternal life."
New Testament Matthew 25:21
"thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

Shared words: into the joy of

Divergences: the revelation's third-person 'enter into the joy of his Lord' against the second-person address 'enter thou into the joy of thy lord'; the revelation expands the parable's servant into a three-adjective steward and adds 'shall inherit eternal life', which the parable's verse has no counterpart for. 'enter into the joy of his Lord' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus.
