1 Nephi 1:1, 2, 3, 16, 17, 20

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.

1 Nephi 1:16

And now I, Nephi, do not make a full account of the things

which my father hath written,

for he hath written many things which he saw in visions and in dreams;

and he also hath written many things

which he prophesied and spake unto his children,

of which I shall not make a full account.

1 Nephi 1:17

But I shall make an account of my proceedings in my days.

Behold, I make an abridgment of the record of my father,

upon plates which I have made with mine own hands;

wherefore, after I have abridged the record of my father

then will I make an account of mine own life.

1 Nephi 1:20

And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him;

yea, even as with the prophets of old,

whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain;

and they also sought his life, that they might take it away.

But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you

that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those

whom he hath chosen, because of their faith,

to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.
