And we know that the people who were in the land of Jerusalem

were a righteous people;

for they kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord,

and all his commandments, according to the law of Moses;

wherefore, we know that they are a righteous people;

and our father hath judged them,

and hath led us away because we would hearken unto his words;

did my brethren murmur and complain against us.

and they were ripe in iniquity;

and the fulness of the wrath of God was upon them;

and bless it unto our fathers;

yea, he did curse it against them unto their destruction,

and he did bless it unto our fathers

unto their obtaining power over it.

wherefore I did make plates of ore

that I might engraven upon them the record of my people.

I, Nephi, received a commandment

that the ministry and the prophecies,

the more plain and precious parts of them,

should be written upon these plates;

and that the things which were written

should be kept for the instruction of my people,

who should possess the land,

and also for other wise purposes,

which purposes are known unto the Lord.

1 Nephi 19:4

Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates,

which gives an account, or which gives a greater account

of the wars and contentions and destructions of my people.

what they should do after I was gone;

and that these plates should be handed down

from one generation to another, or from one prophet to another,

until further commandments of the Lord.

and then, behold, I proceed according to that which I have spoken;

for the knowledge of my people.
