Doctrine and Covenants D&C 132:16
"Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants"
New Testament Matthew 22:30
"For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."

Shared words: they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are

Divergences: the gospel states a fact about everyone in the resurrection, the revelation about a subset - those whose covenants were not sealed - and the difference is carried by context, not by the shared words. 'are as the angels of God in heaven' becomes 'are appointed angels in heaven', a change from simile to appointment, pressed further in the next verse ('are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever', D&C 132:17). The run stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 132:16, Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:35. Matthew is paired because its verse alone ends on the angels-in-heaven clause the revelation reworks.
