Book of Mormon 4 Nephi 1:14
"the three who should tarry"
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 28:7
"ye shall never taste of death"

The forward promise, still holding a hundred years on. At 4 Nephi 1:14 the disciples 'whom he had chosen, had all gone to the paradise of God, save it were the three who should tarry' — the corpus's own designation for the three (compare 3 Nephi 28:12 'the three who were to tarry' and 4 Nephi 1:37 'the three disciples of Jesus who should tarry'), so the identification is textually secure. Interpretive tier reflects that the pairing to the never-taste-death promise at 3 Nephi 28:7 rests on that shared identity plus the promise, not on a shared phrase between the two verses. The last sighting of the same three is morm-three-last-sighting.
