Where the Latter-day Saint scriptures echo the Bible

Every passage in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price, scored against the King James Bible by shared five-word phrasing. Strong scores mark near-verbatim quotation — the long Isaiah, Matthew, and Malachi passages the Book of Mormon reproduces — not merely shared themes.
