Doctrine and Covenants D&C 117:10
"Let my servant William Marks be faithful over a few things, and he shall be a ruler over many."
New Testament Matthew 25:21
"thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

Shared words: faithful over a few things

Divergences: the parable commends a completed faithfulness in the past tense; the revelation commands a future one of a man named in the verse. 'ruler over many things' is shortened to 'a ruler over many'. The parable's commendation and closing invitation have no counterpart. 'faithful over a few things' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 117:10, D&C 132:53, Matthew 25:21, Matthew 25:23. D&C 132:53 is registered against Matthew 25:21 separately (w6-dc132-faithful-few-things-matt25); D&C 51:19 is already registered against the same verse for its closing invitation.
