New Testament John 1:9
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

Shared words: lighteth every man that cometh into the world

Divergences: 'that lighteth' for 'which lighteth', and the grammatical person — the gospel describes a light in the third person, the revelation predicates it of a first-person speaker. 'the true light' stands at exactly four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: John 1:9, 1 John 2:8, D&C 88:50, and D&C 93:2. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
