THE FIRST BOOK OF NEPHI
HIS REIGN AND MINISTRY

CHAPTER 1

20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had ^acast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also ^bsought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender ^cmercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of ^ddeliverance.

b	Jer. 11: 19. 19 But I was like a ^alamb or an ox that is brought to the ^bslaughter; and I knew not that they had ^cdevised ^ddevices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us ^ecut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. 1 Ne. 2: 2 (1-4). 2 And it came to pass that the Lord ^acommanded my father, even in a ^bdream, that he should ^ctake his family and depart into the wilderness. 2 Ne. 10: 20. 20 And now, my beloved brethren, seeing that our merciful God has given us so great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off; nevertheless, we have been ^adriven out of the land of our inheritance; but we have been led to a ^bbetter land, for the Lord has made the sea our ^cpath, and we are upon an ^disle of the sea.
