Doctrine and Covenants D&C 98:12
"For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith."
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 28:30
"I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little"

Shared words: line upon line, precept upon precept

Divergences: recipients differ ('the faithful' against 'the children of men'); the revelation drops 'here a little and there a little', which both other witnesses keep, and adds a purpose the others do not state. 'line upon line' and 'precept upon precept' each stand at five distinct frozen verses in the corpus, and at the same five: 2 Nephi 28:30, D&C 98:12, D&C 128:21, Isaiah 28:10, Isaiah 28:13. The Isaiah verses put the two phrases in the reverse order and are disclosed; 2 Nephi 28:30 is paired because it alone carries the same order as the revelation.
