Book of Mormon 4 Nephi 1:25

Book of Mormon 4 Nephi 1:3
"they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free"

Shared words: common among them

Internal antithetical inversion: 4 Nephi 1:25 negates the charter of 4 Nephi 1:3 (this page's record 4ne-riches-all-things-common). The phrase 'common among them' occurs at exactly three corpus verses: 4 Nephi 1:3, 4 Nephi 1:25, 3 Nephi 26:19 — 1:25 is the sole negation ('no more common among them'). This is the pride-cycle's structural pivot in 4 Nephi: the two-hundred-and-first-year pride onset (1:24, the wearing of costly apparel) issues in the end of the shared-goods economy (1:25), the exact reversal of 1:3's charter, 'they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor'. Registered conservatively as the decline's trigger. 4 Nephi 1:3 is also the near end of 4ne-riches-all-things-common (distinct pair, no collision).
