"And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Shared words: all the pure in heart

Divergences: the beatitude is unconditional as to place; the revelation conditions the seeing on entering a particular house, and the preceding verse conditions the house itself (D&C 97:15), with the negative form at D&C 97:17. 'pure in heart' stands at thirteen distinct frozen verses in the corpus, seven of them in the Doctrine and Covenants (56:18, 97:16, 97:21, 101:18, 122:2, 123:11, 124:54). The beatitude's own form stands at 3 Nephi 12:8 and Matthew 5:8; Matthew is disclosed, not paired, the record's wording being the nearer of the two.
