CHAPTER 6

15 Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—^aSatan had great ^bpower, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and ^criches, and the vain things of the world.

15a	Moses 6: 15. 15 And the children of ^amen were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days ^bSatan had great ^cdominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came ^dwars and bloodshed; and a man’s hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of ^esecret ^fworks, seeking for ^gpower.
b	1 Ne. 22: 26. 26 And because of the ^arighteousness of his people, ^bSatan has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of ^cmany years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel ^dreigneth. Alma 48: 17. 17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto ^aMoroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the ^bdevil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.
