Book of Mormon Jarom 1:9
"But the word of the Lord was verified, which he spake unto our fathers, saying that: Inasmuch as ye will keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land."
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 2:20
"inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper"

Shared words: keep my commandments ye shall prosper

Jarom cites the positive half of the covenant formula as the fathers' quotation and pronounces it 'verified' by events. Divergences: 'ye will keep' vs 2:20's 'ye shall keep'; 'prosper in the land' matches Lehi's transmitted form (2 Ne 1:20; 4:4) more closely than the original — see sb-cov-prosper-lehiform.
