13:23 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
13:24 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his
ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
13:25 And it came to pass that after Abinadi had made an end of these
sayings that he said unto them: Have ye taught this people that they
should observe to do all these things for to keep these commandments?
13:26 I say unto you, Nay; for if ye had, the Lord would not have
caused me to come forth and to prophesy evil concerning this people.
13:27 And now ye have said that salvation cometh by the law of Moses. I
say unto you that it is expedient that ye should keep the law of Moses
as yet; but I say unto you, that the time shall come when it shall no
more be expedient to keep the law of Moses.
13:28 And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the
law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall
make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must
unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.
13:29 And now I say unto you that it was expedient that there should be
a law given to the children of Israel, yea, even a very strict law; for
they were a stiffnecked people, quick to do iniquity, and slow to
remember the Lord their God;
13:30 Therefore there was a law given them, yea, a law of performances
and of ordinances, a law which they were to observe strictly from day
to day, to keep them in remembrance of God and their duty towards him.
13:31 But behold, I say unto you, that all these things were types of
things to come.
13:32 And now, did they understand the law? I say unto you, Nay, they
did not all understand the law; and this because of the hardness of
their hearts; for they understood not that there could not any man be
saved except it were through the redemption of God.
13:33 For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the
coming of the Messiah, and that God should redeem his people? Yea, and
even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world
began—have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?
13:34 Have they not said that God himself should come down among the
children of men, and take upon him the form of man, and go forth in
mighty power upon the face of the earth?
13:35 Yea, and have they not said also that he should bring to pass the
resurrection of the dead, and that he, himself, should be oppressed and
afflicted?
Mosiah Chapter 14
14:1 Yea, even doth not Isaiah say: Who hath believed our report, and
to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
14:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of dry ground; he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall
see him there is no beauty that we should desire him.
