3 Nephi 4:5 Textual Variants

for there was no way [that 1ABCDEFGIJLMNOPQRST| HK] they could subsist

The 1874 RLDS edition dropped the adverbial relative pronoun that here in 3 Nephi 4:5, probably accidentally. The 1908 RLDS edition restored the that. Elsewhere in the text, for similar expressions the that is never omitted after no way:

Mosiah 21:5 and there was no way that they could deliver themselves out of their hands
Alma 4:19 seeing no way that he might reclaim them
Alma 58:1 but behold there was no way that we could lead them out of the city by our small bands

The critical text will maintain the that in all these cases, including here in 3 Nephi 4:5.

Summary: Maintain in 3 Nephi 4:5 and elsewhere in the text the adverbial relative pronoun that whenever it occurs after no way in the earliest text.
