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.

Now I say unto you

let us be wise and consider these things,

for we have no right to destroy my son,

neither should we have any right to destroy another

if he should be appointed in his stead.

for the judgments of God are always just,

but the judgments of man are not always just.

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 29:29

If your higher judges do not judge righteous judgments,

ye shall cause that a small number of your lower judges

should be gathered together,

and they shall judge your higher judges,

according to 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 29:39

Therefore, it came to pass that

they assembled themselves together in bodies throughout the land,

to cast in their voices concerning who should be their judges,

to judge them according to the law which had been given them;

and they were exceedingly rejoiced

because of the liberty which had been granted unto them.

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.
