Mosiah 29:7, 12, 20, 26, 32, 34, 40

Mosiah 29:7

And now if there should be another appointed in his stead,

behold I fear there would rise contentions among you.

And who knoweth but what my son, to whom the kingdom doth belong,

should turn to be angry and draw away a part of this people after him,

which would cause wars and contentions among you,

which would be the cause of shedding much blood

and perverting the way of the Lord,

yea, and destroy the souls of many people.

Mosiah 29:12

Now it is better that a man should be judged of God than of man,

for the judgments of God are always just,

but the judgments of man are not always just.

Mosiah 29:20

but behold, he did deliver them

because they did humble themselves before him;

and because they cried mightily unto him

he did deliver them out of bondage;

and thus doth the Lord work with his power

in all cases among the children of men,

extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.

Mosiah 29:26

Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything

contrary to that which is right;

but it is common for the lesser part of the people

to desire that which is not right;

therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law —

to do your business by the voice of the people.

Mosiah 29:32

And now I desire that this inequality should be no more in this land,

especially among this my people;

but I desire that this land be a land of liberty,

and every man may enjoy his rights and privileges alike,

so long as the Lord sees fit that we may live and inherit the land,

yea, even as long as any of our posterity remains upon the face of the land.

Mosiah 29:34

And he told them that these things ought not to be;

but that the burden should come upon all the people,

that every man might bear his part.

Mosiah 29:40

And they did wax strong in love towards Mosiah;

yea, they did esteem him more than any other man;

for they did not look upon him as a tyrant who was seeking for gain,

yea, for that lucre which doth corrupt the soul;

for he had not exacted riches of them,

neither had he delighted in the shedding of blood;

but he had established peace in the land,

and he had granted unto his people

that they should be delivered from all manner of bondage;

therefore they did esteem him,

yea, exceedingly, beyond measure.
