Book of Mormon Mosiah 17:8
"thou hast said that God himself should come down among the children of men"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 15:1
"God himself shall come down among the children of men"

Shared words: come down among the children of men

The capital charge quotes the sermon's thesis nearly verbatim - by the record's own wording, the offense for which Abinadi dies is the opening sentence of his Father-and-Son exposition. Divergence: mood shift 'should' (king) for 'shall' (Abinadi). The phrasing also opens the prophets-summary at 13:34 ('God himself should come down among the children of men').
