"For behold, we are"

1. Mosiah 7: 15
     15 For behold, we are in bondage to the Lamanites, and are taxed with a tax which is grievous to be borne. And now, behold, our brethren will deliver us out of our bondage, or out of the hands of the Lamanites, and we will be their slaves; for it is better that we be slaves to the Nephites than to pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites.
2. Hel. 8: 6
     6 And now we know that this is impossible, for behold, we are powerful, and our cities great, therefore our enemies can have no power over us.
