Mosiah 16
God redeems men from their lost and fallen state—Those who are carnal remain as though there were no redemption—Christ brings to pass a resurrection to endless life or to endless damnation. About 148 B.C.
And
now,
it
came
to
pass
that
after
Abinadi
had
spoken
these
words
he
stretched
forth
his
hand
and
said:
The
time
shall
come
when
all
shall
see
the
a
salvation
of
the
Lord;
when
b
every
nation,
kindred,
tongue,
and
people
shall
see
eye
to
eye
and
shall
c
confess
before
God
that
his
d
judgments
are
just.
2 And
then
shall
the
a
wicked
be
b
cast
out,
and
they
shall
have
cause
to
howl,
and
c
weep,
and
wail,
and
gnash
their
teeth;
and
this
because
they
would
not
d
hearken
unto
the
voice
of
the
Lord;
therefore
the
Lord
redeemeth
them
not.
3 For
they
are
a
carnal
and
devilish,
and
the
devil
has
power
over
them;
yea,
even
that
old
serpent
that
did
b
beguile
our
first
parents,
which
was
the
c
cause
of
their
fall;
which
was
the
cause
of
d
all
mankind
becoming
carnal,
sensual,
devilish,
e
knowing
evil
from
good,
f
subjecting
themselves
to
the
devil.
4 Thus
all
mankind
were
a
lost;
and
behold,
they
would
have
been
endlessly
lost
were
it
not
that
God
redeemed
his
people
from
their
lost
and
fallen
state.
5 But
remember
that
he
that
persists
in
his
own
a
carnal
nature,
and
goes
on
in
the
ways
of
sin
and
rebellion
against
God,
remaineth
in
his
fallen
state
and
the
b
devil
hath
all
power
over
him.
Therefore
he
is
as
though
there
was
no
c
redemption
made,
being
an
enemy
to
God;
and
also
is
the
d
devil
an
enemy
to
God.
6 And
now
if
Christ
had
not
come
into
the
world,
speaking
of
things
to
come
a
as
though
they
had
already
come,
there
could
have
been
no
redemption.
7 And
if
Christ
had
not
risen
from
the
dead,
or
have
broken
the
bands
of
death
that
the
grave
should
have
no
victory,
and
that
death
should
have
no
a
sting,
there
could
have
been
no
resurrection.
8 But
there
is
a
a
resurrection,
therefore
the
grave
hath
no
victory,
and
the
sting
of
b
death
is
swallowed
up
in
Christ.
9 He
is
the
a
light
and
the
life
of
the
world;
yea,
a
light
that
is
endless,
that
can
never
be
darkened;
yea,
and
also
a
life
which
is
endless,
that
there
can
be
no
more
death.
10 Even
this
mortal
shall
put
on
a
immortality,
and
this
b
corruption
shall
put
on
incorruption,
and
shall
be
brought
to
c
stand
before
the
bar
of
God,
to
be
judged
of
him
according
to
their
works
whether
they
be
good
or
whether
they
be
evil—
11 If
they
be
good,
to
the
resurrection
of
a
endless
life
and
b
happiness;
and
if
they
be
evil,
to
the
resurrection
of
c
endless
damnation,
being
delivered
up
to
the
devil,
who
hath
subjected
them,
which
is
damnation—
12 Having
gone
according
to
their
own
carnal
wills
and
desires;
having
never
called
upon
the
Lord
while
the
arms
of
mercy
were
extended
towards
them;
for
the
arms
of
mercy
were
extended
towards
them,
and
they
would
a
not;
they
being
warned
of
their
iniquities
and
yet
they
would
not
depart
from
them;
and
they
were
commanded
to
repent
and
yet
they
would
not
repent.
13 And
now,
ought
ye
not
to
tremble
and
repent
of
your
sins,
and
remember
that
only
in
and
through
Christ
ye
can
be
saved?
14 Therefore,
if
ye
teach
the
a
law
of
Moses,
also
teach
that
it
is
a
b
shadow
of
those
things
which
are
to
come—
15 Teach
them
that
redemption
cometh
through
Christ
the
Lord,
who
is
the
very
a
Eternal
Father.
Amen.
