Jacob 1:2

And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment that I should write upon these plates

a few of the things which I considered to be most precious;

that I should not touch, save it were lightly,

concerning the history of this people which are called the people of Nephi.

Jacob 1:7

Wherefore we labored diligently among our people,

that we might persuade them to come unto Christ,

and partake of the goodness of God,

that they might enter into his rest,

lest by any means he should swear in his wrath they should not enter in,

as in the provocation in the days of temptation

while the children of Israel were in the wilderness.

Jacob 1:8

Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men

not to rebel against God, to provoke him to anger,

but that all men would believe in Christ,

and view his death, and suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world;

wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfil the commandment of my brother Nephi.

Jacob 1:13

Now the people which were not Lamanites were Nephites;

nevertheless, they were called Nephites, Jacobites, Josephites, Zoramites,

Lamanites, Lemuelites, and Ishmaelites.

Jacob 1:14

But I, Jacob, shall not hereafter distinguish them by these names,

but I shall call them Lamanites that seek to destroy the people of Nephi,

and those who are friendly to Nephi I shall call Nephites, or the people of Nephi,

according to the reigns of the kings.

Jacob 1:19

And we did magnify our office unto the Lord,

taking upon us the responsibility,

answering the sins of the people upon our own heads

if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence;

wherefore, by laboring with our might

their blood might not come upon our garments;

otherwise their blood would come upon our garments,

and we would not be found spotless at the last day.
