1 Nephi 1:1
I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents,
therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father;
and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days,
nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days;
yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God,
therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
1 Nephi 1:2
Yea, I make a record in the language of my father,
which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians.
1 Nephi 1:3
And I know that the record which I make is true;
and I make it with mine own hand;
and I make it according to my knowledge.
