25
Wherefore, I, Nephi, did exhort them to give heed unto the word of the Lord; yea, Idid exhort them with all the energies of my soul, and with all the faculty which I possessed, that they would give heed to the word of God and remember to keep his commandments always in all things.
14
Yea, and the Lord said also that: After ye have arrived in the promised land, ye shall know that I, the Lord, am God; and that I, the Lord, did deliver you from destruction; yea, that Idid bring you out of the land of Jerusalem.
7
And they stood forth to lay their hands on me; but behold, they did not. And I stood with boldness to declare unto them, yea, Idid boldly testify unto them, saying:
13
Yea, Idid remember all my sins and iniquities, for which I was tormented with the pains of hell; yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God, and that I had not kept his holy commandments.

And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and Ido put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.
28
Yea, behold Ido not fear your power nor your authority, but it is my God whom I fear; and it is according to his commandments that Ido take my sword to defend the cause of my country, and it is because of your iniquity that we have suffered so much loss.
