Doctrine and Covenants D&C 59:9
"And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day;"
New Testament James 1:27
"To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Shared words: unspotted from the world

Divergences: the epistle names two things pure religion consists of - visiting the fatherless and widows, and keeping unspotted - and the revelation takes only the second, making it the purpose of a different practice, sabbath attendance, which the epistle's verse does not mention. 'unspotted from the world' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two.
