3 Nephi 6:10

But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year

there began to be some disputings among the people;

and some were lifted up unto pride and boastings

because of their exceedingly great riches,

yea, even unto great persecutions;

3 Nephi 6:12

And the people began to be distinguished by ranks,

according to their riches and their chances for learning;

yea, some were ignorant because of their poverty,

and others did receive great learning because of their riches.

3 Nephi 6:14

And thus there became a great inequality in all the land,

insomuch that the church began to be broken up;

yea, insomuch that in the thirtieth year the church was broken up in all the land

save it were among a few of the Lamanites

who were converted unto the true faith;

and they would not depart from it,

for they were firm, and steadfast, and immovable,

willing with all diligence to keep the commandments of the Lord.

3 Nephi 6:20

And there began to be men inspired from heaven and sent forth,

standing among the people in all the land,

preaching and testifying boldly of the sins and iniquities of the people,

and testifying unto them concerning the redemption

which the Lord would make for his people,

or in other words, the resurrection of Christ;

and they did testify boldly of his death and sufferings.
