Doctrine and Covenants D&C 109:7
"And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom"
Doctrine and Covenants D&C 88:118
"And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom"

Shared words: And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom

Intra-D&C pairing; the register lists the lower-numbered section as its second reference. Twenty-eight words identical. The two verses then diverge only in pointing: the earlier reads 'seek learning, even by study and also by faith.', the prayer 'seek learning even by study and also by faith'. 'out of the best books' stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two and D&C 109:14, where the prayer petitions the same words back as a request for whoever will worship in the house. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
