Helaman 6:8

Helaman 5:6

Behold, my sons,

I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God;

and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words.

Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents

who came out of the land of Jerusalem;

and this I have done

that when you remember your names

ye may remember them;

and when ye remember them

ye may remember their works;

and when ye remember their works

ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.

Helaman 5:8

And now my sons, behold I have somewhat more to desire of you,

which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may boast,

but that ye may do these things to lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven,

yea, which is eternal, and which fadeth not away;

yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life,

which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.

Helaman 6:8

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would,

whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites;

and thus they did have free intercourse one with another,

to buy and to sell, and to get gain, according to their desire.
