3 Nephi 3:7

Or in other words, yield yourselves up unto us, and unite with us

and become acquainted with our secret works, and become our brethren

that ye may be like unto us — not our slaves,

but our brethren and partners of all our substance.

3 Nephi 3:8

And behold, I swear unto you,

if ye will do this, with an oath, ye shall not be destroyed;

but if ye will not do this, I swear unto you with an oath,

that on the morrow month I will command

that my armies shall come down against you,

and they shall not stay their hand and shall spare not,

but shall slay you, and shall let fall the sword upon you

even until ye shall become extinct.

3 Nephi 3:12

Now behold, this Lachoneus, the governor, was a just man,

and could not be frightened by the demands and the threatenings of a robber;

but he did cause that his people should cry unto the Lord

for strength against the time that the robbers should come down against them.

3 Nephi 3:21

but Gidgiddoni saith unto them:

The Lord forbid;

for if we should go up against them

the Lord would deliver us into their hands;

therefore we will prepare ourselves in the center of our lands,

and we will gather all our armies together,

and we will not go against them,

but we will wait till they shall come against us;

therefore as the Lord liveth,

if we do this he will deliver them into our hands.

but in this thing they were disappointed,

for the Nephites did not fear them;

they were prepared to meet them;

yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them.

3 Nephi 4:16

And in the twenty and first year they did not come up to battle,

but they came up on all sides to lay siege round about the people of Nephi;

for they did suppose that

if they should cut off the people of Nephi from their lands,

and should hem them in on every side,

and if they should cut them off from all their outward privileges,

that they could cause them to yield themselves up according to their wishes.

3 Nephi 4:18

but behold, this was an advantage to the Nephites;

for it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long

to have any effect upon the Nephites,

because of their much provision which they had laid up in store,

but as many as there were who did not enter into a covenant,

and who did still continue to have those secret murders in their hearts,

yea, as many as were found breathing out threatenings against their brethren

were condemned and punished according to the law.

and a shorter but true account was given by Nephi.
