Questions
Verse 11
- Is it the presence of the Book of Mormon that constitutes the proof or the confirmation one receives through the Spirit?
Verse 12
- Did God start out as a God or was there a different God before him?
Verse 13
- What does the pronoun "them" refer to? Does it mean that the world will be judged out of the books (Book of Mormon and Bible)? The witness in this verse would then refer to the Three and Eight Witnesses of the Book of Mormon and/or perhaps any one who preaches the scriptures to the world.

Exegesis
- One way to read verse 11 is that the Book of Mormon is doing the proving. It proves to the world that "the holy scriptures" - meaning the scriptures the world already has, i.e., the Holy Bible) - are true. See 1 Nephi 13:39-40.
