Doctrine and Covenants D&C 82:23
"Leave judgment alone with me, for it is mine and I will repay."
New Testament Romans 12:19
"for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Registered as allusion, not shared phrasing: the shared run is three words long, and what the two verses have in common is the reservation of requital to God rather than a wording. Divergences: the epistle's noun is 'Vengeance', the revelation's is 'judgment'; the epistle quotes the maxim as written scripture where the revelation states it in the first person as its own. 'I will repay' stands at six distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Luke 10:35 and Philemon 1:19 (both in a plain commercial sense), and Mormon 3:15 and Mormon 8:20, which carry the maxim in its 'Vengeance is mine' form and stand nearer the epistle than the revelation does - disclosed, not paired.
