Doctrine and Covenants D&C 59:8
"Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit."
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 9:20
"And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit."

Shared words: a broken heart and a contrite spirit

Divergences: the record's verse attaches a promise to the sacrifice - baptism with fire and with the Holy Ghost - which the revelation has no counterpart for; the revelation instead adds 'in righteousness', which the record's verse lacks. 'a broken heart and a contrite spirit' stands at six distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, 2 Nephi 2:7, 3 Nephi 12:19, Ether 4:15, and Moroni 6:2, the last treated on the-order-of-the-church.md. 3 Nephi 9:20 is paired because it is the only other carrier that states the phrase as the content of an offered sacrifice; the four others are disclosed.
