Helaman 3:14

But behold, a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people,

yea, the account of the Lamanites and of the Nephites,

and their wars, and contentions, and dissensions,

and their preaching, and their prophecies,

and their shipping and their building of ships,

and their building of temples, and of synagogues and their sanctuaries,

and their righteousness, and their wickedness,

and their murders, and their robbings, and their plundering,

and all manner of abominations and whoredoms,

cannot be contained in this work.

until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.

they must unavoidably perish.

and to walk in truth and uprightness before him.
