Doctrine and Covenants D&C 67:9
"that which is righteous cometh down from above, from the Father of lights."
New Testament James 1:17
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights"

Shared words: from the Father of lights

Divergences: the epistle's subject is gifts, the revelation's is a property of texts ('that which is righteous'); the epistle's closing clause about variableness has no counterpart in the revelation's verse. 'Father of lights' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two.
