Mosiah 2:35

Mosiah 1:2

And it came to pass that he had three sons;

and he called their names Mosiah, and Helorum, and Helaman.

And he caused that they should be taught in all the language of his fathers,

that thereby they might become men of understanding;

and that they might know concerning the prophecies

which had been spoken by the mouths of their fathers,

which were delivered them by the hand of the Lord.

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 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 1:13

Yea, and moreover I say unto you, that

if this highly favored people of the Lord should fall into transgression,

and become a wicked and an adulterous people,

that the Lord will deliver them up,

that thereby they become weak like unto their brethren;

and he will no more preserve them by his matchless and marvelous power,

as he has hitherto preserved our fathers.

Mosiah 1:14

For I say unto you,

that if he had not extended his arm in the preservation of our fathers

they must have fallen into the hands of the Lamanites,

and become victims to their hatred.

Mosiah 1:16

And moreover, he also gave him charge concerning the records

which were engraven on the plates of brass;

and also the plates of Nephi;

and also, the sword of Laban,

and the ball or director, which led our fathers through the wilderness,

which was prepared by the hand of the Lord

that thereby they might be led, every one

according to the heed and diligence which they gave unto him.

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.
