Ether 12:31 Textual Variants

thou didst shew thyself [unto them 1ABCDEFGIJLMNOPQRST| HK] in great power

Here the 1874 RLDS edition accidentally omitted the prepositional phrase unto them. The 1908 RLDS edition restored the phrase. Nearby instances of “shew unto them” have been maintained in the text:

Ether 9:35 and the Lord did shew forth his power unto them
Ether 12:7 and he shewed not himself unto them until after they had faith in him
Ether 12:27 I will shew unto them their weakness
Ether 12:28 and I will shew unto them that faith hope and charity bringeth unto me

Summary: Maintain the prepositional phrase “unto them” in Ether 12:31, the reading of the earliest text.
