Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 3:19
"it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, that we may preserve unto our children the language of our fathers"
Book of Mormon Omni 1:17
"their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them; and they denied the being of their Creator"

1 Nephi 3:19 is a purpose-statement and Omni 1:17 a narrative state report ~450 years later — a purpose and a later negative case are not the same proposition restated, so 'paraphrase' was a category error; no distinctive shared phrasing exists ('language'+'records' co-occur only as common words). This is the purpose-and-proof structural pattern (⑤).
