       linen, and the precious clothing, and the harlots, are the

       desires of this great and abominable church.

      1 Nephi 13:9

       9 And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the

       saints of God, and bring them down into captivity.

      1 Nephi 13:10

       10 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld many waters; and

       they divided the Gentiles from the seed of my brethren.

      1 Nephi 13:11

       11 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: Behold the

       wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren.

      1 Nephi 13:12

       12 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was

       separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I

       beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the

       man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed

       of my brethren, who were in the promised land.

      1 Nephi 13:13

       13 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it

       wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of

       captivity, upon the many waters.

      1 Nephi 13:14

       14 And it came to pass that I beheld many multitudes of the

       Gentiles upon the land of promise; and I beheld the wrath of God,

       that it was upon the seed of my brethren; and they were scattered

       before the Gentiles and were smitten.

      1 Nephi 13:15

       15 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the

       Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their

       inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly

       fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain.

      1 Nephi 13:16

       16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles

       who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before

       the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.

      1 Nephi 13:17

       17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered

       together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle

       against them.

      1 Nephi 13:18

       18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also

       that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered

       together against them to battle.

      1 Nephi 13:19

       19 And I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles that had gone out of

       captivity were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of

       all other nations.

      1 Nephi 13:20

       20 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that they did

       prosper in the land; and I beheld a book, and it was carried

       forth among them.

      1 Nephi 13:21

       21 And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the meaning of the

       book?

      1 Nephi 13:22

       22 And I said unto him: I know not.

      1 Nephi 13:23

       23 And he said: Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew.

       And I, Nephi, beheld it; and he said unto me: The book that thou

       beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants

       of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel; and it

       also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and

       it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates

       of brass, save there are not so many; nevertheless, they contain

       the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of

       Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.

      1 Nephi 13:24

       24 And the angel of the Lord said unto me: Thou hast beheld that

       the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew; and when it

       proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew it contained the fulness

       of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bear

       record; and they bear record according to the truth which is in

       the Lamb of God.

      1 Nephi 13:25

       25 Wherefore, these things go forth from the Jews in purity unto

       the Gentiles, according to the truth which is in God.

      1 Nephi 13:26

       26 And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of

       the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the

       formation of a great and abominable church, which is most

       abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken

       away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and

       most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they

       taken away.
