the Words of Mormon 1:1

And now I, Mormon, being about to deliver up the record

which I have been making

into the hands of my son Moroni,

behold I have witnessed almost all the destruction of my people, the Nephites.

the Words of Mormon 1:2

And it is many hundred years after the coming of Christ

that I deliver these records into the hands of my son;

and it supposeth me that he will witness the entire destruction of my people.

But may God grant that he may survive them,

that he may write somewhat concerning them,

and somewhat concerning Christ,

that perhaps some day it may profit them.

the Words of Mormon 1:5

Wherefore, I chose these things, to finish my record upon them,

which remainder of my record I shall take from the plates of Nephi;

and I cannot write the hundredth part of the things of my people.

the Words of Mormon 1:11

And they were handed down from king Benjamin, from generation to generation

until they have fallen into my hands.

And I, Mormon, pray to God

that they may be preserved from this time henceforth.

And I know that they will be preserved;

for there are great things written upon them,

out of which my people and their brethren shall be judged at the great and last day,

according to the word of God which is written.
