And moreover, I say unto you,

and were it not for the atonement,

which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people,

that they must unavoidably perish,

notwithstanding the law of Moses.

And now, did they understand the law?

I say unto you,

Nay, they did not all understand the law;

and this because of the hardness of their hearts;

for they understood not that there could not any man be saved

except it were through the redemption of God.

I say unto you,

were it not for this,

all mankind must have perished.

Thus all mankind were lost;

and behold, they would have been endlessly lost

were it not that God redeemed his people from their lost and fallen state.

Mosiah 16:12

Having gone according to their own carnal wills and desires;

having never called upon the Lord

while the arms of mercy were extended towards them;

for the arms of mercy were extended towards them, and they would not;

they being warned of their iniquities

and yet they would not depart from them;

and they were commanded to repent

and yet they would not repent.
