and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things,

that ye may not come down into captivity;

both things to act and things to be acted upon.

2 Nephi 2:22

And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed

in the same state in which they were

after they were created;

and they must have remained forever, and had no end.

I would that ye should look to the great Mediator,

and hearken unto his great commandments;

and be faithful unto his words,

and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;
