1 Nephi 17:47 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
and my heart is pained [ 01ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRST|for J] I fear lest ye shall be cast off forever

The 1888 LDS large-print edition added the conjunction for, perhaps because there was no connector between the two sentences. It is also possible that the following word forever suggested the conjunction for. No later LDS edition was typeset from the 1888 edition, so this intrusive for has never been transmitted into any subsequent LDS edition.

Summary: Ignore the conjunction for that was added in the 1888 LDS edition.
