       redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.

      Mosiah 27:25

       25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea,

       men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be

       born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and

       fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God,

       becoming his sons and daughters;

      Mosiah 27:26

       26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this,

       they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

      Mosiah 27:27

       27 I say unto you, unless this be the case, they must be cast

       off; and this I know, because I was like to be cast off.

      Mosiah 27:28

       28 Nevertheless, after wading through much tribulations,

       repenting nigh unto death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to

       snatch me out of an everlasting burning, and I am born of God.

      Mosiah 27:29

       29 My soul hath been redeemed from the gall of bitterness and

       bonds of iniquity. I was in the darkest abyss; but now I behold

       the marvelous light of God. My soul was racked with eternal

       torment; but I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more.

      Mosiah 27:30

       30 I rejected my Redeemer, and denied that which had been spoken

       of by our fathers; but now that they may foresee that he will

       come, and that he remembereth every creature of his creating, he

       will make himself manifest unto all.

      Mosiah 27:31

       31 Yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess before

       him. Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall stand to be

       judged of him, then shall they confess that he is God; then shall

       they confess, who live without God in the world, that the

       judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them; and they

       shall quake, and tremble, and shrink beneath the glance of his

       all-searching eye.

      Mosiah 27:32

       32 And now it came to pass that Alma began from this time

       forward to teach the people, and those who were with Alma at the

       time the angel appeared unto them, traveling round about through

       all the land, publishing to all the people the things which they

       had heard and seen, and preaching the word of God in much

       tribulation, being greatly persecuted by those who were

       unbelievers, being smitten by many of them.

      Mosiah 27:33

       33 But notwithstanding all this, they did impart much

       consolation to the church, confirming their faith, and exhorting

       them with long-suffering and much travail to keep the

       commandments of God.

      Mosiah 27:34

       34 And four of them were the sons of Mosiah; and their names

       were Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni; these were the names

       of the sons of Mosiah.

      Mosiah 27:35

       35 And they traveled throughout all the lands of Zarahemla, and

       among all the people who were under the reign of king Mosiah,

       zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done

       to the church, confessing all their sins, and publishing all the

       things which they had seen, and explaining the prophecies and the

       scriptures to all who desired to hear them.

      Mosiah 27:36

       36 And thus they were instruments in the hands of God in

       bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, to the

       knowledge of their Redeemer.

      Mosiah 27:37

       37 And how blessed are they! For they did publish peace; they

       did publish good tidings of good; and they did declare unto the

       people that the Lord reigneth.

      Mosiah 28 Chapter 28

      Mosiah 28:1

       1 Now it came to pass that after the sons of Mosiah had done all

       these things, they took a small number with them and returned to

       their father, the king, and desired of him that he would grant

       unto them that they might, with these whom they had selected, go

       up to the land of Nephi that they might preach the things which

       they had heard, and that they might impart the word of God to

       their brethren, the Lamanites—

      Mosiah 28:2

       2 That perhaps they might bring them to the knowledge of the

       Lord their God, and convince them of the iniquity of their

       fathers; and that perhaps they might cure them of their hatred

       towards the Nephites, that they might also be brought to rejoice

       in the Lord their God, that they might become friendly to one

       another, and that there should be no more contentions in all the

       land which the Lord their God had given them.

      Mosiah 28:3

       3 Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to

       every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul

       should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should

       endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.

      Mosiah 28:4

       4 And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they

       were the very vilest of sinners. And the Lord saw fit in his

       infinite mercy to spare them; nevertheless they suffered much

       anguish of soul because of their iniquities, suffering much and

       fearing that they should be cast off forever.

      Mosiah 28:5

       5 And it came to pass that they did plead with their father many

       days that they might go up to the land of Nephi.

      Mosiah 28:6

       6 And king Mosiah went and inquired of the Lord if he should let

       his sons go up among the Lamanites to preach the word.

      Mosiah 28:7

       7 And the Lord said unto Mosiah: Let them go up, for many shall

       believe on their words, and they shall have eternal life; and I

       will deliver thy sons out of the hands of the Lamanites.

      Mosiah 28:8

       8 And it came to pass that Mosiah granted that they might go and

       do according to their request.

      Mosiah
