1 Nephi 10:17
And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father,
concerning the things which he saw in a vision,
and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost,
which power he received by faith on the Son of God
— and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come —
I, Nephi, was desirous also
that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost,
which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him,
as well in times of old
as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men.

from the beginning of the world until this time,

it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles;

with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity,
thou seest — because of the many plain and precious things
which have been taken out of the book,
which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men,
according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God —
because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb,

yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.

These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles,

which have been taken away from them;
and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world;
and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.

by that great and abominable church,
which was founded by the devil and his children,
that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell —
yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men
shall be filled by those who digged it,
unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God;
not the destruction of the soul,
save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end.

or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts
and the blindness of their minds
unto their being brought down into captivity,
and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually,
according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.

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.
