Latter-day scripture and the Bible
Early in this gospel dispensation, Jesus Christ declared through His servant Joseph Smith: "What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same" (Doctrine and Covenants 1:38).
Occasionally, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is criticized for teaching doctrine not found in the Bible. In reality, the teachings of the church reflect reiterations of truths once had in Christ's church that were lost through many centuries of apostasy and the consequential absence of divine authority and priesthood keys.
In view of that, it should come as no surprise that much of latter-day scripture is reminiscent of Bible passages. After all, holy writ has the same divine author, regardless of the age in which it is produced.
