One thought on “1 Nephi Chapter 1 Verse 20”

1. 1981 edition 1 Nephi 1:20 reads:

   And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him;
   yea, even as with the prophets of old,
   whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain;
   and they also sought his life, that they might take it away.
   But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you
   that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those
   whom he hath chosen, because of their faith,
   to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.

   In Royal Skousen’s “The Book of Mormon: The Earliest Text”, 1 Nephi 1:20 reads a little differently:

   And when the Jews heard these things, they were angry with him,
   yea, even as with the prophets of old,
   whom they had cast out and stoned and slain.
   And they also sought his life that they might take it away.
   But behold, I Nephi will shew unto you
   that the tender mercies of the Lord is over all them
   whom he hath chosen because of their faith
   to make them mighty, even unto the power of deliverance.
