Mosiah 29:11, 12, 13, 14, 22, 27, 36, 45

Mosiah 29:11

Therefore I will be your king the remainder of my days;

nevertheless, let us appoint judges, to judge this people according to our law;

and we will newly arrange the affairs of this people,

for we will appoint wise men to be judges,

that will judge this people according to the commandments of God.

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 29:13

Therefore, if it were possible that you could have just men to be your kings,

who would establish the laws of God,

and judge this people according to his commandments,

yea, if ye could have men for your kings

who would do even as my father Benjamin did for this people —

I say unto you,

if this could always be the case

then it would be expedient

that ye should always have kings to rule over you.

Mosiah 29:14

And even I myself have labored

with all the power and faculties which I have possessed,

to teach you the commandments of God,

and to establish peace throughout the land,

that there should be no wars nor contentions,

no stealing, nor plundering, nor murdering, nor any manner of iniquity;

Mosiah 29:22

For behold, he has his friends in iniquity,

and he keepeth his guards about him;

and he teareth up the laws of those

who have reigned in righteousness before him;

and he trampleth under his feet the commandments of God;

Mosiah 29:27

And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity,

then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you;

yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction

even as he has hitherto visited this land.

Mosiah 29:36

Yea, all his iniquities and abominations,

and all the wars, and contentions, and bloodshed,

and the stealing, and the plundering,

and the committing of whoredoms,

and all manner of iniquities which cannot be enumerated —

telling them that these things ought not to be,

that they were expressly repugnant to the commandments of God.

Mosiah 29:45

And now it came to pass that his father died,

being eighty and two years old,

having lived to fulfil the commandments of God.
