Doctrine and Covenants D&C 128:24
"and who can abide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap"
Old Testament Malachi 3:2
"But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' sope:"

Shared words: stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like

Two divergences of modality - 'may abide' and 'shall stand' read 'can abide' and 'can stand' - and one of spelling, "fullers' sope" against "fuller's soap". That spelling is not this verse's invention: the Bountiful rendering of the same prophecy reads "like fuller's soap" at 3 Nephi 24:2, which is this verse's form exactly. "refiner's fire" stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Malachi 3:2, 3 Nephi 24:2, and this verse. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
