e 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.
Mosiah 13:28
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.
Mosiah 13:29
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;
Mosiah 13:30
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.
Mosiah 13:31
31 But behold, I say unto you, that all these things were types
of things to come.
Mosiah 13:32
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.
Mosiah 13:33
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?
Mosiah 13:34
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?
Mosiah 13:35
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 14
Chapter 14
Mosiah 14:1
1 Yea, even doth not Isaiah say: Who hath believed our report,
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Mosiah 14:2
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.
Mosiah 14:3
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Mosiah 14:4
4 Surely
