Mosiah 1:5

I say unto you, my sons,

were it not for these things,

which have been kept and preserved by the hand of God,

that we might read and understand of his mysteries,

and have his commandments always before our eyes,

that even our fathers would have dwindled in unbelief,

and we should have been like unto our brethren, the Lamanites,

who know nothing concerning these things,

or even do not believe them when they are taught them,

because of the traditions of their fathers, which are not correct.

Mosiah 1:6

O my sons, I would that ye should remember

that these sayings are true,

and also that these records are true.

And behold, also the plates of Nephi,

which contain the records and the sayings of our fathers

from the time they left Jerusalem until now,

and they are true;

and we can know of their surety

because we have them before our eyes.

Mosiah 2:35

And also, all that has been spoken by our fathers until now.

And behold, also, they spake that which was commanded them of the Lord;

therefore, they are just and true.

Mosiah 2:41

And moreover, I would desire

that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state

of those that keep the commandments of God.

For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual;

and if they hold out faithful to the end

they are received into heaven,

that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never–ending happiness.

O remember, remember that these things are true;

for the Lord God hath spoken it.

Mosiah 3:16

And even if it were possible that little children could sin

they could not be saved;

but I say unto you

they are blessed;

for behold, as in Adam, or by nature, they fall,

even so the blood of Christ atoneth for their sins.

Mosiah 3:25

And if they be evil

they are consigned to an awful view of their own guilt and abominations,

which doth cause them to shrink from the presence of the Lord

into a state of misery and endless torment,

from whence they can no more return;

therefore they have drunk damnation to their own souls.
