Doctrine and Covenants D&C 132:46
"and whosesoever sins you remit on earth shall be remitted eternally in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you retain on earth shall be retained in heaven."
New Testament John 20:23
"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."

Divergences: the revelation adds a location to both halves ('on earth') and a destination to both ('in the heavens', 'in heaven') where the gospel states the effect without locating it; the pronoun differs, 'you' against 'ye'. 'sins ye remit' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus - the gospel's - and 'sins you remit' at exactly one, the revelation's. Registered as allusion for that reason: the two verses match in structure and vocabulary but share no run of four words verbatim.
