in keeping the commandments of
the Lord.

Mosiah 1:12
12 And I give unto them a name that never shall be blotted out,
except it be through transgression.

Mosiah 1:13
13 Yea, and moreover I say unto you, that if this highly favored
people of the Lord should fall into transgression, and become a
wicked and an adulterous people, that the Lord will deliver them
up, that thereby they become weak like unto their brethren; and
he will no more preserve them by his matchless and marvelous
power, as he has hitherto preserved our fathers.

Mosiah 1:14
14 For I say unto you, that if he had not extended his arm in
the preservation of our fathers they must have fallen into the
hands of the Lamanites, and become victims to their hatred.

Mosiah 1:15
15 And it came to pass that after king Benjamin had made an end

Mosiah 1:16

17 Therefore, as they were unfaithful they did not prosper nor
progress in their journey, but were driven back, and incurred the

Mosiah 1:18

father had commanded him, and proclaimed unto all the people who
were in the land of Zarahemla that thereby they might gather
themselves together, to go up to the temple to hear the words
which his father should speak unto them.

Mosiah 2
Chapter 2

Mosiah 2:1
1 And it came to pass that after Mosiah had done as his father
had commanded him, and had made a proclamation throughout all the
land, that the people gathered themselves together throughout all
the land, that they might go up to the temple to hear the words
which king Benjamin should speak unto them.

Mosiah 2:2
2 And there were a great number, even so many that they did not
