2 Nephi 28:21–22 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
and thus the devil cheateth their souls and leadeth them away carefully down to hell and behold others he [flatereth 1|flattereth ABCDEFGHIJLMNOPQRST|flattered K] away and telleth them there is no hell

Here we have an obvious typo in the 1892 RLDS edition: namely, the replacement of the presenttense flattereth with the past-tense flattered. All the other verbs in this passage maintain their present-tense forms (cheateth, leadeth, and telleth).

Summary: Maintain the present-tense forms throughout 2 Nephi 28:21–22.
