Helaman 3:30 30 And land their souls, yea, their
immortal souls, at the right
hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, to sit down
with Abraham,
and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers,
to go
no more out.
Helaman 3:31 31 And in this year there was continual
rejoicing in the land of
Zarahemla, and in all the regions round about, even
in all the
land which was possessed by the Nephites.
Helaman 3:32 32 And it came to pass that there was
peace and exceedingly
great joy in the remainder of the forty and ninth
year; yea, and
also there was continual peace and great joy in the
fiftieth year
of the reign of the judges.
Helaman 3:33 33 And in the fifty and first year
of the reign of the judges
there was peace also, save it were the pride which
began to enter
into the church—not into the church of
God, but into the hearts
of the people who professed to belong to the church
of God—
Helaman 3:34 34 And they were lifted up in pride,
even to the persecution of
many of their brethren. Now this was a great
evil, which did
cause the more humble part of the people to suffer
great
persecutions, and to wade through much affliction.
Helaman 3:35 35 Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.
Helaman 3:36 36 And it came to pass that the fifty and second year ended in peace also, save it were the exceedingly great pride which had gotten into the hearts of the people; and it was because of their exceedingly great riches and their prosperity in the land; and it did grow upon them from day to day.
Helaman 3:37 37 And it came to pass in the fifty and third year of the reign of the judges, Helaman died, and his eldest son Nephi began to reign in his stead. And it came to pass that he did fill the judgment-seat with justice and equity; yea, he did keep the commandments of God, and did walk in the ways of his father.
Helaman 4
Chapter 4
Helaman 4:1 1 And it came to pass in the fifty and
fourth year there were
many dissensions in the church, and there was also
a contention
among the people, insomuch that there was much bloodshed.
Helaman 4:2 2 And the rebellious part were slain
and driven out of the land,
and they did go unto the king of the Lamanites.
Helaman 4:3 3 And it came to pass that they did
endeavor to stir up the
Lamanites to war against the Nephites; but behold,
the Lamanites
were exceedingly afraid, insomuch that they would
not hearken to
the words of those dissenters.
Helaman 4:4 4 But it came to pass in the fifty and
sixth year of the reign
of the judges, there were dissenters who went up from
the
Nephites unto the Lamanites; and they succeeded with
those others
in stirring them up to anger against the Nephites;
and they were
all that year preparing for war.
