THE SON OF NEPHI, WHO WAS THE SON OF HELAMAN
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.
