Doctrine and Covenants D&C 128:12
"is in the likeness of the resurrection of the dead in coming forth out of their graves"
New Testament Romans 6:5
"For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"

Shared words: in the likeness of

Both tie immersion to a likeness of the resurrection in the same construction, 'in the likeness of the resurrection'. Divergences: the letter of Paul makes the likeness his, singular and possessive, and pairs it with a likeness of his death; this verse makes it the resurrection of the dead generally and supplies the physical figure the older verse does not, 'coming forth out of their graves'. No source is named at this point, so the record is wiki-asserted. D&C 127 and D&C 128 frame themselves as letters in a human first person, not as divine addresses; the letter-writer is not named in the verse text.
