  171. #171

    “O how great is the nothingness of the children of men”

    “O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it / that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father / that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him / and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them”

    Moroni 4:3

    THE SACRAMENT PRAYER ON THE BREAD — the literal string protected under the liturgy policy so the linter exempts it. Completed: the entry previously carried only the opening clause, so the linter still flagged the unto/hath/thee/thy in the rest of the prayer; the full prayer is now listed in segments, matching how protects the Lord's Prayer. No change of ruling — already fixes this text verbatim

  173. #173

    “O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee, in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of all those who drink of it / that they may do it in remembrance of the blood of thy Son, which was shed for them / that they may witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them”

    Moroni 5:2

    the whore "sat on many waters" (1N 14:11–12) and Irreantum, "which means 'many waters'" (1N 17:5) — Dan's v0.5 ruling. Literal geography renders the sea(s) / the ocean (§4b) and no literal instance survives

  176. #176

    “before it came to pass I showed it to you”

    1N 20:5

    Isaiah 48 oracle — the one surviving "came to pass" in the edition, kept per §0 (prophetic voice leans original)
