Helaman 6:17

For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world

that they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodshed;

therefore they began to set their hearts upon their riches;

yea, they began to seek to get gain

that they might be lifted up one above another;

therefore they began to commit secret murders, and to rob and to plunder,

that they might get gain.



Helaman 6:38

And it came to pass on the other hand,

that the Nephites did build them up and support them,

beginning at the more wicked part of them,

until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites,

and had seduced the more part of the righteous

until they had come down to believe in their works

and partake of their spoils,

and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.
