Enos 1:8

Because of thy faith in Christ,

whom thou hast never before heard nor seen.

before he shall manifest himself in the flesh;

wherefore, go to,

thy faith hath made thee whole.

my faith began to be unshaken in the Lord;

and I prayed unto him with many long strugglings

for my brethren, the Lamanites.

Enos 1:12

And it came to pass that

after I had prayed and labored with all diligence,

the Lord said unto me:

I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith.

Enos 1:14

For at the present our strugglings were vain

in restoring them to the true faith.

And they swore in their wrath

that, if it were possible,

they would destroy our records and us,

and also all the traditions of our fathers.

Enos 1:15

Wherefore, I knowing

that the Lord God was able to preserve our records,

I cried unto him continually,

for he had said unto me:

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith,

believing that ye shall receive

in the name of Christ,

ye shall receive it.

Enos 1:16

And I had faith, and I did cry unto God

that he would preserve the records;

and he covenanted with me

that he would bring them forth unto the Lamanites in his own due time.

Thy fathers have also required of me this thing;

and it shall be done unto them according to their faith;

for their faith was like unto thine.

Enos 1:20

And I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently

to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God.

But our labors were vain;

their hatred was fixed,

and they were led by their evil nature

that they became wild, and ferocious,

and a blood-thirsty people, full of idolatry and filthiness;

feeding upon beasts of prey;

dwelling in tents, and wandering about in the wilderness

with a short skin girdle about their loins and their heads shaven;

and their skill was in the bow, and in the cimeter, and the ax.

And many of them did eat nothing save it was raw meat;

and they were continually seeking to destroy us.
