3 Nephi 1:24

And there were no contentions,

save it were a few that began to preach,

endeavoring to prove by the scriptures

that it was no more expedient to observe the law of Moses.

Now in this thing they did err, having not understood the scriptures.

3 Nephi 2:11

And it came to pass in the thirteenth year

there began to be wars and contentions throughout all the land;

for the Gadianton robbers had become so numerous,

and did slay so many of the people,

and did lay waste so many cities,

and did spread so much death and carnage throughout the land,

that it became expedient that all the people,

both the Nephites and the Lamanites,

should take up arms against them.
