Doctrine and Covenants D&C 132:46
"whatsoever you seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever you bind on earth, in my name and by my word, saith the Lord, it shall be eternally bound in the heavens"
New Testament Matthew 16:19
"whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Divergences: the gospel's pair is bind/loose, the revelation's seal/bind - dropping loosing, adding sealing, and inserting a condition the gospel does not carry, 'in my name and by my word'. 'shall be bound in heaven' becomes 'shall be eternally bound in the heavens'. Registered as allusion: the longest verbatim run common to both is 'bind on earth', three words, standing at seven distinct frozen verses in the corpus - Matthew 16:19, Matthew 18:18, D&C 124:93, D&C 127:7, D&C 128:8, D&C 128:10, D&C 132:46.
