1 Nephi 8:27 Textual Variants

The 1892 RLDS edition accidentally replaced partaking with partakers. Although such a use is found elsewhere (“that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life” in Alma 5:62), partaking is the correct form here in verse 27, especially in light of its use a few verses later:

• 1 Nephi 8:33
  • and after that they did enter into that building they did point the finger of scorn at me and those that were partaking of the fruit also

For this second passage, the 1892 RLDS edition did not replace partaking with partakers, so it appears that the 1892 change in verse 27 is a typo.
