Alma 38:9 Textual Variants

Here the 1852 LDS edition replaced nor with or. This change may have been unintended since the nor has been retained in two other cases of “no other way nor means” (although in the first case Joseph Smith grammatically emended the no to any in his editing for the 1837 edition):

• Mosiah 3:17
  • there shall be no other name given nor [no >js any 1|no A|any BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men only in and through the name of Christ the Lord Omnipotent
• Helaman 5:9
  • there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ which shall come

The critical text will therefore restore the original use of nor here in Alma 38:9. For additional discussion regarding nor versus or, see under Mosiah 27:4; also see the general discussion under negation in volume 3.
