Mosiah 1:3

And he also taught them concerning the records

which were engraven on the plates of brass, saying:

My sons, I would that ye should remember

that were it not for these plates,

which contain these records and these commandments,

we must have suffered in ignorance, even at this present time,

not knowing the mysteries of God.

Mosiah 1:4

For it were not possible

that our father, Lehi, could have remembered all these things,

to have taught them to his children,

except it were for the help of these plates;

for he having been taught in the language of the Egyptians

therefore he could read these engravings, and teach them to his children,

that thereby they could teach them to their children,

and so fulfilling the commandments of God,

even down to this present time.

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 1:7

And now, my sons, I would that ye should remember to search them diligently,

that ye may profit thereby;

and I would that ye should keep the commandments of God,

that ye may prosper in the land

according to the promises which the Lord made unto our fathers.

Mosiah 1:11

And moreover, I shall give this people a name,

that thereby they may be distinguished above all the people

which the Lord God hath brought out of the land of Jerusalem;

and this I do because they have been a diligent people

in keeping the commandments of the Lord.

Mosiah 2:4

And also that they might give thanks to the Lord their God,

who had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem,

and who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies,

and had appointed just men to be their teachers,

and also a just man to be their king,

who had established peace in the land of Zarahemla,

and who had taught them to keep the commandments of God,

that they might rejoice and be filled with love towards God and all men.

Mosiah 2:13

Neither have I suffered that ye should be confined in dungeons,

nor that ye should make slaves one of another,

nor that ye should murder, or plunder, or steal, or commit adultery;

nor even have I suffered that ye should commit any manner of wickedness,

and have taught you that ye should keep the commandments of the Lord,

in all things which he hath commanded you—

Mosiah 2:22

And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments;

and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments

ye should prosper in the land;

and he never doth vary from that which he hath said;

therefore, if ye do keep his commandments

he doth bless you and prosper you.

Mosiah 2:31

And now, my brethren, I would that ye should do as ye have hitherto done.

As ye have kept my commandments,

and also the commandments of my father,

and have prospered, and have been kept

from falling into the hands of your enemies,

even so if ye shall keep the commandments of my son,

or the commandments of God which shall be delivered unto you by him,

ye shall prosper in the land,

and your enemies shall have no power over you.

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.
