1 Nephi 13:26, 35,

1 Nephi 14:23



1 Nephi 13:26

And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,

from the Jews unto the Gentiles,

thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church,

which is most abominable above all other churches;

for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb

many parts which are plain and most precious;

and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.



1 Nephi 13:35

For, behold, saith the Lamb: I will manifest myself unto thy seed,

that they shall write many things which I shall minister unto them,

which shall be plain and precious;

and after thy seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief,

and also the seed of thy brethren,

behold, these things shall be hid up, to come forth unto the Gentiles,

by the gift and power of the Lamb.



1 Nephi 14:23

Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true;

and behold they are written in the book

which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew;

and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,

or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,

the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious

and easy to the understanding of all men.
