Book of Mormon Alma 12:31
"becoming as gods, knowing good from evil, placing themselves in a state to act"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 2:18
"Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil"

Shared words: knowing good

The serpent's promise (Lehi's report) stated by Alma as outcome. Wording facts reported, never harmonized: 2 Ne 2:18 singular 'as God'; Alma 12:31 plural 'as gods' = the fetched KJV serpent's own wording (Genesis 3:5); Alma 42:3 singular 'as God' (cf. Genesis 3:22 'as one of us'). Family: Alma 12:22 / 2 Ne 2:19; state-to-act clause touches 2 Ne 2:26 - chain note.
