Alma 1:1

Now it came to pass that

in the first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi,

from this time forward,

king Mosiah having gone the way of all the earth,

having warred a good warfare,

walking uprightly before God,

leaving none to reign in his stead;

nevertheless he had established laws,

and they were acknowledged by the people;

therefore they were obliged to abide by the laws which he had made.

For the hearts of many were hardened,

and their names were blotted out,

that they were remembered no more among the people of God.

And also many withdrew themselves from among them.

and sent his guards to contend with Alma.

for they had marked themselves with red in their foreheads

after the manner of the Lamanites;

that their seed might be distinguished from the seed of their brethren,

that thereby the Lord God might preserve his people,

which would prove their destruction.

And it came to pass that

whosoever would not believe in the tradition of the Lamanites,

but believed those records which were brought out of the land of Jerusalem,

and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct,

who believed in the commandments of God and kept them,

were called the Nephites, or the people of Nephi,

from that time forth —

Alma 3:14

Thus the word of God is fulfilled,

for these are the words which he said to Nephi:

Behold, the Lamanites have I cursed,

and I will set a mark on them

that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed,

from this time henceforth and forever,

except they repent of their wickedness and turn to me

that I may have mercy upon them.

Alma 3:17

And again, I say

he that departeth from thee shall no more be called thy seed;

and I will bless thee,

and whomsoever shall be called thy seed, henceforth and forever;

and these were the promises of the Lord unto Nephi and to his seed.
