18  For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

  48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

  17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

  11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

  26  And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal ^apurposes, which were prepared from the foundation of the world. And thus cometh about the salvation and the redemption of men, and also their destruction and misery.

  43  And thus did I, the Lord God, appoint unto man the days of his probation—that by his natural death he might be raised in ^dimmortality unto eternal life, even as many as would believe;

  31  And behold, the glory of the Lord was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in the presence of God, and talked with him face to face. And the Lord God said unto Moses: For mine own ^bpurpose have I made these things. Here is wisdom and it remaineth in me.

  39  For behold, this is my ^awork and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

  20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and ^cfowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

  17  But of the ^atree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

  17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I ^cforbid it, for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

  6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the ^dfruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

  26  Therefore, they have drunk out of the cup of the wrath of God, which justice could no more deny unto them than it could deny that Adam should fall because of his partaking of the forbidden ^cfruit; therefore, mercy could have claim on them no more forever.

  22  Now Alma said unto him: This is the thing which I was about to explain. Now we see that Adam did fall by the partaking of the forbidden ^bfruit, according to the word of God; and thus we see, that by his fall, all mankind became a lost and fallen people.

  9  And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the ^ctree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

  36  Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous, and also from that ^atree of life, whose fruit is most precious and most desirable above all other fruits; yea, and it is the greatest of all the gifts of God. And thus I spake unto my brethren. Amen.

  26  And now behold, if it were possible that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the ^atree of life they would have been forever miserable, having no preparatory state; and thus the plan of redemption would have been frustrated, and the word of God would have been void, taking none effect.

  40  And thus, if ye will not nourish the word, looking forward with an eye of faith to the fruit thereof, ye can never pluck of the fruit of the tree of life.
