There ya go. The episode is "Rightful Heir". The Kahless clone is arguing that Worf shouldn't agonize over the actual truth of his faith, because "If [Kahless'] words hold wisdom and his philosophy is honourable, what does it really matter if he returns?" (It's a good speech, but could only have been written by someone who just does not get religion at all, concept or execution.)

The book where that line comes up again is Kahless by Michael Jan Friedman. It's an odd book continuing an odd storyline. In it, we learn that (a) Kahless was just a guy, and (b) it doesn't matter, because the current Kahless wasn't even cloned from the just-a-guy Kahless, but from his friend Morath. The clone didn't know this, and when he's struggling with the revelation, Worf turns the speech from "Rightful Heir" back on him for encouragement. It's sort of a "You are a TOY!" moment.

Identifying an episode uniquely should count as a win even without remembering the title, no? You're up next, NAH.
