Nephi 1:23

       23 And it came to pass that Nephi went forth among the people,

       and also many others, baptizing unto repentance, in the which

       there was a great remission of sins. And thus the people began

       again to have peace in the land.

      3 Nephi 1:24

       24 And there were no contentions, save it were a few that began

       to preach, endeavoring to prove by the scriptures that it was no

       more expedient to observe the law of Moses. Now in this thing

       they did err, having not understood the scriptures.

      3 Nephi 1:25

       25 But it came to pass that they soon became converted, and were

       convinced of the error which they were in, for it was made known

       unto them that the law was not yet fulfilled, and that it must be

       fulfilled in every whit; yea, the word came unto them that it

       must be fulfilled; yea, that one jot or tittle should not pass

       away till it should all be fulfilled; therefore in this same year

       were they brought to a knowledge of their error and did confess

       their faults.

      3 Nephi 1:26

       26 And thus the ninety and second year did pass away, bringing

       glad tidings unto the people because of the signs which did come

       to pass, according to the words of the prophecy of all the holy

       prophets.

      3 Nephi 1:27

       27 And it came to pass that the ninety and third year did also

       pass away in peace, save it were for the Gadianton robbers, who

       dwelt upon the mountains, who did infest the land; for so strong

       were their holds and their secret places that the people could

       not overpower them; therefore they did commit many murders, and

       did do much slaughter among the people.

      3 Nephi 1:28

       28 And it came to pass that in the ninety and fourth year they

       began to increase in great degree, because there were many

       dissenters of the Nephites who did flee unto them, which did

       cause much sorrow unto those Nephites who did remain in the land.

      3 Nephi 1:29

       29 And there was also a cause of much sorrow among the

       Lamanites; for behold, they had many children who did grow up and

       began to wax strong in years, that they became for themselves,

       and were led away by some who were Zoramites, by their lyings and

       their flattering words, to join those Gadianton robbers.

      3 Nephi 1:30

       30 And thus were the Lamanites afflicted also, and began to

       decrease as to their faith and righteousness, because of the

       wickedness of the rising generation.

      3 Nephi 2 Chapter 2

      3 Nephi 2:1

       1 And it came to pass that thus passed away the ninety and fifth

       year also, and the people began to forget those signs and wonders

       which they had heard, and began to be less and less astonished at

       a sign or a wonder from heaven, insomuch that they began to be

       hard in their hearts, and blind in their minds, and began to

       disbelieve all which they had heard and seen—

      3 Nephi 2:2

       2 Imagining up some vain thing in their hearts, that it was

       wrought by men and by the power of the devil, to lead away and

       deceive the hearts of the people; and thus did Satan get

       possession of the hearts of the people again, insomuch that he

       did blind their eyes and lead them away to believe that the

       doctrine of Christ was a foolish and a vain thing.

      3 Nephi 2:3

       3 And it came to pass that the people began to wax strong in

       wickedness and abominations; and they did not believe that there

       should be any more signs or wonders given; and Satan did go

       about, leading away the hearts of the people, tempting them and

       causing them that they should do great wickedness in the land.

      3 Nephi 2:4

       4 And thus did pass away the ninety and sixth year; and also the

       ninety and seventh year; and also the ninety and eighth year; and

       also the ninety and ninth year;

      3 Nephi 2:5

       5 And also an hundred years had passed away since the days of

       Mosiah, who was king over the people of the Nephites.

      3 Nephi 2:6

       6 And six hundred and nine years had passed away since Lehi left

       Jerusalem.

      3 Nephi 2:7

       7 And nine years had passed away from the time when the sign was

       given, which was spoken of by the prophets, that Christ should

       come into the world.

      3 Nephi 2:8

       8 Now the Nephites began to reckon their time from this period

       when the sign was given, or from the coming of Christ; therefore,

       nine years had passed away.

      3 Nephi 2:9

       9 And Nephi, who was the father of Nephi, who had the charge of

       the records, did not return to the land of Zarahemla, and could

       nowhere be found in all the land.

      3 Nephi 2:10

       10 And it came to pass that the people did still remain in

       wickedness, notwithstanding the much preaching and prophesying

       which was sent among them; and thus passed away the tenth year

       also; and the eleventh year also passed away in iniquity.

      3 Nephi 2:11

       11 And it came to pass in the thirteenth year there began to be

       wars and contentions throughout all the land; for the Gadianton

       robbers had become so numerous, and did slay so many of the

       people, and did lay waste so many cities, and did spread so much

       death and carnage throughout the land, that it became expedient

       that all the people, both the Nephites and the Lamanites, should

       take up arms against them.

      3 Nephi 2:12

       12 Therefore, all the Lamanites who had become converted unto

       the Lord did unite with their brethren, the Nephites, and were

       compelled, for the safety of their lives and their women and

       their children, to take up arms against those Gadianton robbers,

       yea, and also to maintain their rights, and
