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 2:18

Behold, ye have called me your king;

and if I, whom ye call your king, do labor to serve you,

then ought not ye to labor to serve one another?

Mosiah 2:19

And behold also, if I, whom ye call your king,

who has spent his days in your service,

and yet has been in the service of God,

do merit any thanks from you,

O how you ought to thank your heavenly King!

Mosiah 2:20

I say unto you, my brethren,

that if you should render all the thanks and praise

which your whole soul has power to possess,

to that God who has created you,

and has kept and preserved you,

and has caused that ye should rejoice,

and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another —

Mosiah 2:21

I say unto you that

if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning,

and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath,

that ye may live and move and do according to your own will,

and even supporting you from one moment to another —

I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls

yet ye would be unprofitable servants.

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 2:24

And secondly, he doth require

that ye should do as he hath commanded you;

for which if ye do,

he doth immediately bless you;

and therefore he hath paid you.

And ye are still indebted unto him,

and are, and will be, forever and ever;

therefore, of what have ye to boast?

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 2:33

For behold, there is a wo pronounced upon him who listeth to obey that spirit;

for if he listeth to obey him, and remaineth and dieth in his sins,

the same drinketh damnation to his own soul;

for he receiveth for his wages an everlasting punishment,

having transgressed the law of God contrary to his own knowledge.

Mosiah 2:36

And now, I say unto you, my brethren,

that after ye have known and have been taught all these things,

if ye should transgress and go contrary to that which has been spoken,

that ye do withdraw yourselves from the Spirit of the Lord,

that it may have no place in you to guide you in wisdom's paths

that ye may be blessed, prospered, and preserved—

Mosiah 2:38

Therefore if that man repenteth not,

and remaineth and dieth an enemy to God,

the demands of divine justice do awaken his immortal soul

to a lively sense of his own guilt,

which doth cause him to shrink from the presence of the Lord,

and doth fill his breast with guilt, and pain, and anguish,

which is like an unquenchable fire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever.

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.
