Doctrine and Covenants D&C 63:23
"the same shall be in him a well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life."
New Testament John 4:14
"the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

Shared words: shall be in him a well of

Divergences: the gospel's 'into everlasting life' reads 'unto everlasting life'; the revelation adds 'living' to the water. What is given differs - water in the gospel, 'the mysteries of my kingdom' in the revelation, with the figure carried over whole. 'springing up' stands at six distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Alma 32:41, Alma 33:23, D&C 63:23, D&C 86:4, Hebrews 12:15, John 4:14. Alma 32:41 matches the revelation's 'unto' exactly where the gospel has 'into' but its figure is a tree; the gospel verse is paired because it alone shares the well, which is the revelation's figure. Both Alma verses disclosed.
