Doctrine and Covenants D&C 137:9
"For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts."
Book of Mormon Alma 41:3
"And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good."

Shared words: according to their works

Both couple works and heart's desire as the two measures of judgment. Divergences: singular 'desire' for plural 'desires', and Alma's conditional construction against the revelation's flat declaration. The revelation applies the rule to a case the sermon does not raise — those who died without a knowledge of the gospel, D&C 137:7-8. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
