Genesis 6:3 says that the days of man will be "an hundred and twenty years". This is a scripture used by all Christians, including Mormons. Moses 8:17, a Mormon scripture found in the Pearl of Great Price, clarifies what many Christian scholars believe: that this actually refers to the fact that the flood of Noah would come in 120 years, not that men will live to be 120.

Compare:

Genesis 6:3-

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Moses 8:17-

And the Lord said unto Noah: My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he shall know that all flesh shall die; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years; and if men do not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.

Psalm 90:10 says that men will live to be "threescore years and ten", meaning 70 years.
