Doctrine and Covenants D&C 132:24
"This is eternal lives—to know the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. I am he."
New Testament John 17:3
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Shared words: true God, and Jesus Christ, whom

Divergences: 'life eternal' becomes the plural 'eternal lives'; 'the only true God' becomes 'the only wise and true God'; and the sender's person changes - in the gospel a speaker addresses the Father about one 'whom thou hast sent', in the revelation the speaker identifies himself as the one sent, in two words the gospel has no counterpart for. 'only true God' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus - the gospel's; 'eternal lives' at exactly two, both in this section.
