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.

and the first came and stood before my father,

and gave unto him a book, and bade him that he should read.

did murmur against their father.

unto us, their younger brothers,

and they did smite us even with a rod.
