108 Therefore whosoever suffered himself to be led away by the Lamanites, was called under that head, and there was a mark set upon him.
109 And it came to pass that whosoever would not believe in the tradition of the Lamanites, but believe those records which were brought out of the land of Jerusalem, and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct, who believed in the commandments of God, and kept them, were called the Nephites, or the people of Nephi, from that time forth;
110 And it is they who have kept the records which are true of their people, and also of the people of the Lamanites.
111 Now we will return again to the Amlicites, for they also had a mark set upon them; yea, they set the mark upon themselves, yea, even a mark of red upon their foreheads.
112 Thus the word of God is fulfilled, for these are the words which he said to Nephi:
113 Behold, the Lamanites have I cursed; and I will set a mark upon them, that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed, from this time henceforth and for ever, except they repent of their wickedness and turn to me, that I may have mercy upon them.
114 And again: I will set a mark upon him that mingleth his seed with thy brethren, that they may be cursed also.
115 And again: I will set a mark upon him that fighteth against thee and thy seed.
116 And again I say, He that departeth from thee, shall no more be called thy seed; and I will bless thee, etc., and whomsoever shall be called thy seed, henceforth and for ever: and these were the promises of the Lord unto Nephi, and to his seed.
117 Now the Amlicites knew not that they were fulfilling the words of God, when they began to mark themselves in their foreheads;
118 Nevertheless they had come out in open rebellion against God; therefore it was expedient that the curse should fall upon them.
