"After This Manner.. Did My Father... Comfort My Mother", 1 Nephi 5:6

1 Nephi 5:6

The footnote to "comfort" in this verse is "TG-Comfort; Family, Love within." Under the listing "Family, Love within" are found some of the following:

  • 1 John 2:10 - "He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him." (This is a powerful promise of perfection.)
  • Moroni 8:17 - "And I am filled with charity, which is everlasting love... wherefore I love little children with a perfect love..."
"Where love is, there God is also."

"The Lord Seeth Fit to Chasten His People," Mosiah 23:19-24

Mosiah 23:19-24 There are footnotes on the word "chasten." I've found the reference in Deuteronomy 11:1-8 speaks directly to me. Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm... But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did. Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; ( vs. 1,2,7,8 ) The admonition to be diligent in all commandments is particularly more applicable to those who know and have witnessed the power of His almighty hand.
