Doctrine and Covenants D&C 98:18
"in my Father's house are many mansions, and I have prepared a place for you"
New Testament John 14:2
"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

Shared words: in my Father's house are many mansions

Divergences: tense - the gospel's 'I go to prepare a place for you' stands in the revelation as a completed act, 'I have prepared a place for you'. The gospel's parenthesis has no counterpart; the revelation adds 'where my Father and I am, there ye shall be also'. The revelation's opening 'Let not your hearts be troubled' corresponds to John 14:1, 'Let not your heart be troubled', singular where the revelation is plural; because the two gospel verses cannot be quoted as one, only the mansions verse is paired and John 14:1 is disclosed. 'in my Father's house are many mansions' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two.
