Doctrine and Covenants D&C 98:11
"that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God."
New Testament Matthew 4:4
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Shared words: out of the mouth of God

Divergences: the gospel's clause is the second half of a contrast whose first half is bread; the revelation drops the contrast and attaches the positive half to forsaking evil. 'that proceedeth' reads 'which proceedeth forth'. 'out of the mouth of God' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Moroni 7:25 and Moses 5:15. Moroni 7:25 is nearer in wording and is disclosed; the gospel verse is paired because it, like the revelation, states the clause as a rule of living rather than as a description of an event.
