Here in the printer’s manuscript, Oliver Cowdery initially wrote “joy or sorrow”; but then virtually immediately he corrected sorrow to remorse, the extant reading in 𝓞. (There is no change in the level of ink flow for the supralinearly inserted remorse in 𝓟.) Oliver was perhaps influenced by the conjoining of joy and sorrow only a few verses earlier (at the end of the previous chapter):
One other example conjoining joy and sorrow is found in Jacob 4:3: “that they may learn with joy and not with sorrow—neither with contempt—concerning their first parents”. There are, on the other hand, no other examples in the text of conjoined joy and remorse.
Summary: Maintain the conjoined “joy or remorse” in Alma 29:5, the extant reading of the original manuscript.
