1 Nephi 19:6, 20, 21

1 Nephi 19:6

Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates

save it be that I think it be sacred.

And now, if I do err,

even did they err of old;

not that I would excuse myself because of other men,

but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the flesh,

I would excuse myself.

1 Nephi 19:20

For behold, I have workings in the spirit, which doth weary me

even that all my joints are weak,

for those who are at Jerusalem;

for had not the Lord been merciful,

to show unto me concerning them,

even as he had prophets of old,

I should have perished also.

1 Nephi 19:21

And he surely did show unto the prophets of old all things concerning them;

and also he did show unto many concerning us;

wherefore, it must needs be that we know concerning them

for they are written upon the plates of brass.
