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 2:16

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceedingly young,

nevertheless being large in stature,

and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God,

wherefore, I did cry unto the Lord;

and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart

that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father;

wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers.
