the reign of the

       judges.

      Helaman 4:18

       18 And it came to pass in the sixty and second year of the reign

       of the judges, that Moronihah could obtain no more possessions

       over the Lamanites.

      Helaman 4:19

       19 Therefore they did abandon their design to obtain the

       remainder of their lands, for so numerous were the Lamanites that

       it became impossible for the Nephites to obtain more power over

       them; therefore Moronihah did employ all his armies in

       maintaining those parts which he had taken.

      Helaman 4:20

       20 And it came to pass, because of the greatness of the number

       of the Lamanites the Nephites were in great fear, lest they

       should be overpowered, and trodden down, and slain, and

       destroyed.

      Helaman 4:21

       21 Yea, they began to remember the prophecies of Alma, and also

       the words of Mosiah; and they saw that they had been a

       stiffnecked people, and that they had set at naught the

       commandments of God.

      Helaman 4:22

       22 And that they had altered and trampled under their feet the

       laws of Mosiah, or that which the Lord commanded him to give unto

       the people; and they saw that their laws had become corrupted,

       and that they had become a wicked people, insomuch that they were

       wicked even like unto the Lamanites.

      Helaman 4:23

       23 And because of their iniquity the church had begun to

       dwindle; and they began to disbelieve in the spirit of prophecy

       and in the spirit of revelation; and the judgments of God did

       stare them in the face.

      Helaman 4:24

       24 And they saw that they had become weak, like unto their

       brethren, the Lamanites, and that the Spirit of the Lord did no

       more preserve them; yea, it had withdrawn from them because the

       Spirit of the Lord doth not dwell in unholy temples—

      Helaman 4:25

       25 Therefore the Lord did cease to preserve them by his

       miraculous and matchless power, for they had fallen into a state

       of unbelief and awful wickedness; and they saw that the Lamanites

       were exceedingly more numerous than they, and except they should

       cleave unto the Lord their God, they must unavoidably perish.

      Helaman 4:26

       26 For behold, they saw that the strength of the Lamanites was

       as great as their strength, even man for man. And thus had they

       fallen into this great transgression; yea, thus had they become

       weak, because of their transgression, in the space of not many

       years.

      Helaman 5 Chapter 5

      Helaman 5:1

       1 And it came to pass that in this same year, behold, Nephi

       delivered up the judgment-seat to a man whose name was Cezoram.

      Helaman 5:2

       2 For as their laws and their governments were established by

       the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more

       numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening

       for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted.

      Helaman 5:3

       3 Yea, and this was not all; they were a stiffnecked people,

       insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice,

       save it were to their destruction.

      Helaman 5:4

       4 And it came to pass that Nephi had become weary because of

       their iniquity; and he yielded up the judgment-seat, and took it

       upon him to preach the word of God all the remainder of his days,

       and his brother Lehi also, all the remainder of his days;

      Helaman 5:5

       5 For they remembered the words which their father Helaman spake

       unto them. And these are the words which he spake:

      Helaman 5:6

       6 Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the

       commandments of God; and I would that ye should declare unto the

       people these words. Behold, I have given unto you the names of

       our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this

       I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember

       them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and

       when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and

       also written, that they were good.

      Helaman 5:7

       7 Therefore, my sons, I would that ye should do that which is

       good, that it may be said of you, and also written, even as it

       has been said and written of them.

      Helaman 5:8

       8 And now my sons, behold I have somewhat more to desire of you,

       which desire is, that ye may not do these things that ye may

       boast, but that ye may do these things to lay up for yourselves a

       treasure in heaven, yea, which is eternal, and which fadeth not

       away; yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life,

       which we have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.

      Helaman 5:9

       9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin

       spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way

       nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning

       blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come, yea, remember that he

       cometh to redeem the world.

      Helaman 5:10

       10 And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom,

       in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord

       surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not

       come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their

       sins.

      Helaman 5:11

       11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem

       them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath

       sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of

       repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto

       the salvation of their souls.

      Helaman 5:12
