Alma 3: 4
.
4 And the
a
Amlicites
were distinguished from the Nephites, for they had
b
marked
themselves with red in their foreheads after the manner of the Lamanites; nevertheless they had not shorn their heads like unto the Lamanites.
b
Jacob 1: 14 (13-14)
.
14 But I, Jacob, shall not hereafter distinguish
a
them
by these names, but I shall
b
call
them Lamanites that seek to destroy the people of Nephi, and those who are friendly to Nephi I shall call
c
Nephites
, or the
d
people
of Nephi, according to the reigns of the kings.
Mosiah 25: 12
.
12 And it came to pass that those who
a
were
the children of Amulon and his brethren, who had taken to wife the
b
daughters
of the Lamanites, were displeased with the conduct of their fathers, and they would no longer be called by the names of their fathers, therefore they took upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the children of Nephi and be numbered among those who were
c
called
Nephites.
Alma 3: 11 (11, 17)
.
11 And it came to pass that whosoever would not believe in the
a
tradition
of the Lamanites, but believed those records which were brought out of the land of Jerusalem, and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct, who believed in the commandments of God and kept them, were
b
called
the Nephites, or the people of Nephi, from that time forth—
