The fact that Paul uses comparable language without having the benefit of Mormon and Moroni's text suggests the possibility of an ancient source available to both Book of Mormon and New Testament writers. It may also simply be another evidence that the Holy Ghost can reveal a truth in essentially the same words to more than one person.
