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 3:15

And many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows

showed he unto them, concerning his coming;

and also holy prophets spake unto them concerning his coming;

and yet they hardened their hearts, and understood not

that the law of Moses availeth nothing

except it were through the atonement of his blood.

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.
