4 Nephi 1:35

And now it came to pass in this year,

yea, in the two hundred and thirty and first year,

there was a great division among the people.

4 Nephi 1:36

And it came to pass that in this year

there arose a people who were called the Nephites,

and they were true believers in Christ;

and among them there were those who were called by the Lamanites —

Jacobites, and Josephites, and Zoramites;

4 Nephi 1:37

Therefore the true believers in Christ, and the true worshipers of Christ,

(among whom were the three disciples of Jesus who should tarry)

were called Nephites, and Jacobites, and Josephites, and Zoramites.

4 Nephi 1:38

And it came to pass that they who rejected the gospel

were called Lamanites, and Lemuelites, and Ishmaelites;

and they did not dwindle in unbelief,

but they did wilfully rebel against the gospel of Christ;

and they did teach their children that they should not believe,

even as their fathers, from the beginning, did dwindle.

4 Nephi 1:39

And it was because of the wickedness and abomination of their fathers,

even as it was in the beginning.

And they were taught to hate the children of God,

even as the Lamanites were taught

to hate the children of Nephi from the beginning.
