Doctrine and Covenants D&C 63:26
"Nevertheless, I, the Lord, render unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's."
New Testament Matthew 22:21
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."

Shared words: the things which are

Divergences: the revelation drops 'therefore'; the gospel's second half about God's things has no counterpart; and the grammatical subject changes - in the gospel an imperative addressed to questioners, in the revelation an act the speaker performs himself. The ligature form 'Caesar' with the ae-ligature stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus (this one), while the two-letter spelling stands at eleven, including Matthew 22:21.
