Doctrine and Covenants D&C 45:8
"but unto as many as received me gave I power to do many miracles, and to become the sons of God"
New Testament John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

Shared words: to become the sons of God

Divergences: grammatical person, and an interposed element - the revelation inserts 'to do many miracles' between the giving of power and the becoming, where the gospel joins them directly. The revelation then adds a further grant tied to belief, eternal life, where the gospel's verse names belief as the condition of the grant already made. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
