1 Nephi 1:18 Therefore, I would that ye should know that after the Lord had shown so many marvelous things unto my father Lehi, yea, concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, Behold, he went forth among the people and began to prophesy and to declare unto them concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.
1 Nephi 1:74 And we began to be exceeding sorrowful; And my brethren were about to return unto my father in the wilderness,
1 Nephi 1:83 And also that we may preserve unto them the words which have been spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets which have been delivered unto them by the Spirit and power of God since the world began, even down unto this present time."
1 Nephi 1:97 And after that the angel had departed, Laman and Lemuel again began to murmur, saying: "How is it possible that the Lord will deliver Laban into our hands?
1 Nephi 1:134 And it came to pass that when the servant of Laban beheld my brethren, he began to tremble and was about to flee from before me and return to the City of Jerusalem.
1 Nephi 1:169 And now when my father saw all these things, he was filled with the Spirit and began to prophesy concerning his seed, That these plates of brass should go forth unto all nations, kindreds and tongues and people which were of his seed;
1 Nephi 2:47 And after that I had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that He would have mercy on me according to the multitude of His tender mercies.
1 Nephi 2:53 Wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also, for I knew that it was desirous above all other fruit.
1 Nephi 3:233 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying:
1 Nephi 5:25 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael did begin to murmur exceedingly because of their sufferings and afflictions in the wilderness, And also my father began to murmur against the Lord his God; Yea, and they were all exceeding sorrowful, even that they did murmur against the Lord.
1 Nephi 5:26 Now it came to pass that I, Nephi, having been afflicted with my brethren because of the loss of my bow and their bows having lost their springs, it began to be exceeding difficult, Yea, insomuch that we could obtain no food.
1 Nephi 5:57 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; And they began to bear their journeyings without murmuring.
1 Nephi 5:85 And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship, they began to murmur against me, saying:
1 Nephi 5:91 And now when they saw that I began to be sorrowful, they were glad in their hearts insomuch that they did rejoice over me, saying:
1 Nephi 5:182 And after that we had been driven forth before the wind for the space of many days, Behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael, and also their wives, began to make themselves merry insomuch that they began to dance and to sing and to speak with much rudeness,
1 Nephi 5:185 And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us and smite us because of our iniquity, that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea;
1 Nephi 5:186 Wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness;
1 Nephi 5:193 And they began to be frightened exceedingly lest they should be drowned in the sea,
1 Nephi 5:195 And on the fourth day which we had been driven back, the tempest began to be exceeding sore,
1 Nephi 5:197 And after that we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities;
1 Nephi 5:214 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth and we began to plant seeds, Yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth which we had brought from the Land of Jerusalem.
2 Nephi 4:16 And we began to raise flocks and herds and animals of every kind.
2 Nephi 4:18 And it came to pass that we began to prosper exceedingly and to multiply in the land;
Jacob 1:9 Now Nephi began to be old and he saw that he must soon die; Wherefore, he anointed a man to be a king and a ruler over his people; Now according to the reigns of the kings,
Jacob 1:15 And now it came to pass that the people of Nephi under the reign of the second king began to grow hard in their hearts, And indulge themselves somewhat in wicked practices, such as like unto David of old, desiring many wives and concubines, and also Solomon his son;
Jacob 1:16 Yea, and they also began to search much gold and silver and began to be lifted up somewhat in pride;
Jacob 2:67 And a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people, which now began to be numerous, cannot be written upon these plates;
Jacob 3:31 For behold, thus saith the Lord: "I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree which a man took and nourished in his vineyard, And it grew and waxed old and began to decay.
Jacob 3:32 "And it came to pass that the Master of the vineyard went forth and He saw that His olive tree began to decay; And He saith: 'I will prune it and dig about it and nourish it, that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches and it perish not.'
Jacob 3:34 "And it came to pass that after many days it began to put forth somewhat a little, young and tender branches; But behold, the main top thereof began to perish.
Jacob 3:52 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked and beheld the tree in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted; And it had sprung forth and began to bear fruit;
Jacob 3:141 And there began to be the natural fruit again in the vineyard, And the natural branches began to grow and thrive exceedingly,
Jacob 3:142 And the wild branches began to be plucked off and to be cast away, And they did keep the root and the top thereof equal, according to the strength thereof.
Jacob 5:2 And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ;
Jacob 5:42 And it came to pass that I, Jacob, began to be old; And the record of this people being kept on the other plates of Nephi, wherefore, I conclude this record, Declaring that I have written according to the best of my knowledge by saying
Enos 1:12 Now it came to pass that when I had heard these words, I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren the Nephites; Wherefore, I did pour out my whole soul unto God for them.
Enos 1:17 And after that I, Enos, had heard these words, my faith began to be unshaken in the Lord, And I prayed unto Him with many long strugglings for my brethren the Lamanites.
Enos 1:42 And it came to pass that I began to be old; And an hundred and seventy and nine years had passed away from the time that our father Lehi left Jerusalem;
Omni 1:43 And it came to pass that I began to be old; And having no seed and knowing King Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord, Wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him, Exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel,
Jarom 1:18 Wherefore, we withstood the Lamanites and swept them away out of our lands and began to fortify our cities, or whatsoever place of our inheritance;
Mosiah 1:36 And it came to pass that he began to speak to his people from the tower; And they could not all hear his words because of the greatness of the multitude,
Mosiah 2:7 And King Benjamin again opened his mouth and began to speak unto them, saying: "My friends and my brethren, my kindred and my people, I would again call your attention that ye may hear and understand the remainder of my words which I shall speak unto you.
Mosiah 4:5 And Mosiah began to reign in his father's stead;
Mosiah 4:6 And he began to reign in the thirtieth year of his age, making, in the whole, about four hundred and seventy - six years from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem.
Mosiah 6:11 And we began to build buildings and to repair the walls of the city, Yea, even the walls of the City of Lehi-Nephi, and the City of Shilom;
Mosiah 6:12 And we began to till the ground, Yea, even with all manner of seeds - with seeds of corn and of wheat and of barley, and with neas and with sheum, and with seeds of all manner of fruits; And we did begin to multiply and prosper in the land.
Mosiah 6:14 Therefore, it came to pass that after we had dwelt in the land for the space of twelve years, that King Laman began to grow uneasy, Lest by any means my people should wax strong in the land and that they could not overpower them and bring them into bondage.
Mosiah 6:16 Therefore, it came to pass that King Laman began to stir up his people, that they should contend with my people; Therefore, there began to be wars and contentions in the land;
Mosiah 6:17 For in the thirteenth year of my reign in the Land of Nephi, away on the south of the Land of Shilom, when my people were watering and feeding their flocks and tilling their lands, A numerous host of Lamanites came upon them and began to slay them and to take of their flocks and the corn of their fields;
Mosiah 6:26 And it came to pass that we again began to establish the kingdom, And we again began to possess the land in peace;
Mosiah 6:34 And it came to pass that King Laman died and his son began to reign in his stead,
Mosiah 6:35 And he began to stir his people up in rebellion against my people, Therefore, they began to prepare for war and to come up to battle against my people;
Mosiah 6:57 And it came to pass that we returned again to our own land, And my people again began to tend their flocks and to till their ground.
Mosiah 7:1 And now it came to pass that Zeniff conferred the kingdom upon Noah, one of his sons, Therefore, Noah began to reign in his stead; And he did not walk in the ways of his father;
Mosiah 7:22 And it came to pass that the Lamanites began to come in upon his people, upon small numbers, and to slay them in their fields and while they were tending their flocks;
Mosiah 7:24 Thus the Lamanites began to destroy them and to exercise their hatred upon them.
Mosiah 7:28 And it came to pass that there was a man among them whose name was Abinadi; And he went forth among them and began to prophesy, saying:
Mosiah 7:45 And it came to pass that after the space of two years that Abinadi came among them in disguise, that they knew him not, and began again to prophesy among them, saying:
Mosiah 7:73 And they began to question him that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him;
Mosiah 8:11 "For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah and that God should redeem His people? Yea, and even all the prophets which have prophesied ever since the world began,
Mosiah 8:46 "Yea, and are not the prophets, everyone that has opened his mouth to prophesy that has not fallen into transgression - I mean all the holy prophets ever since the world began -
Mosiah 8:62 Yea, even all those that have perished in their sins ever since the world began, that have willfully rebelled against God, that have known the commandments of God and would not keep them; These are they that have no part in the first resurrection.
Mosiah 9:4 Therefore, he began to plead with the king that he would not be angry with Abinadi, but suffer that he might depart in peace.
Mosiah 9:18 But the priests lifted up their voices against him and began to accuse him, saying: "He hath reviled the king!"
Mosiah 9:21 And now when the flames began to scorch him, he cried unto them, saying: "Behold! Even as ye have done unto me, so shall it come to pass that thy seed shall cause that many shall suffer the pains that I do suffer, even the pains of death by fire, And this because they believe in the salvation of the Lord their God.
Mosiah 9:28 And now it came to pass that Alma, who had fled from the servants of King Noah, repented of his sins and iniquities and went about privately among the people and began to teach the words of Abinadi,
Mosiah 9:75 And now behold, the forces of the king were small, having been reduced. And there began to be a division among the remainder of the people,
Mosiah 9:76 And the lesser part began to breathe out threatenings against the king, And there began to be a great contention among them.
Mosiah 9:83 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did pursue them and did overtake them and began to slay them.
Mosiah 9:104 And it came to pass that Limhi began to establish the kingdom and to establish peace among his people.
Mosiah 9:116 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had come up, that the people of Limhi began to fall upon them from their waiting places and began to slay them.
Mosiah 9:118 And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them, yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites;
Mosiah 9:140 And it came to pass that Limhi and his people returned to the City of Nephi and began to dwell in the land again in peace.
Mosiah 9:141 And it came to pass that after many days the Lamanites began again to be stirred up in anger against the Nephites; And they began to come into the borders of the land round about.
Mosiah 9:142 Now they durst not slay them because of the oath which their king had made unto Limhi; But they would smite them on their cheeks and exercise authority over them, And began to put heavy burdens upon their backs and drive them as they would a dumb ass; Yea, all this was done that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled.
Mosiah 9:144 And it came to pass that the people began to murmur with the king, because of their afflictions, And they began to be desirous to go against them to battle,
Mosiah 9:156 Nevertheless, the Lord did hear their cries and began to soften the hearts of the Lamanites, that they began to ease their burdens; Yet the Lord did not see fit to deliver them out of bondage.
Mosiah 9:157 And it came to pass that they began to prosper by degrees in the land, And began to raise grain more abundantly and flocks and herds, that they did not suffer with hunger.
Mosiah 10:1 And now it came to pass that Ammon and King Limhi began to consult with the people, how they should deliver themselves out of bondage;
Mosiah 11:5 And it came to pass that they pitched their tents and began to till the ground and began to build buildings, etc., Yea, they were industrious and did labor exceedingly.
Mosiah 11:21 And it came to pass that they began to prosper exceedingly in the land; And they called the land Helam.
Mosiah 11:31 Therefore, they hushed their fears and began to cry unto the Lord, that He would soften the hearts of the Lamanites, That they would spare them and their wives and children.
Mosiah 11:49 And thus the language of Nephi began to be taught among all the people of the Lamanites;
Mosiah 11:52 And thus the Lamanites began to increase in riches and began to trade one with another and wax great, And began to be a cunning and a wise people as to the wisdom of the world,
Mosiah 11:54 And now it came to pass that Amulon began to exercise authority over Alma and his brethren and began to persecute him and cause that his children should persecute their children;
Mosiah 11:57 And it came to pass that so great were their afflictions that they began to cry mightily to God.
Mosiah 11:147 And they began again to have peace and to prosper exceedingly in the affairs of the church, walking circumspectly before God, receiving many and baptizing many.
Mosiah 11:150 And now it came to pass that the persecutions which were inflicted on the church by the unbelievers became so great that the church began to murmur and complain to their leaders concerning the matter; And they did complain to Alma,
Mosiah 11:156 And there began to be much peace again in the land; And the people began to be very numerous and began to scatter abroad upon the face of the earth,
Mosiah 11:183 And he caused that the priests should assemble themselves together; And they began to fast and to pray to the Lord their God that He would open the mouth of Alma, that he might speak,
Mosiah 11:185 And it came to pass after they had fasted and prayed for the space of two days and two nights, the limbs of Alma received their strength; And he stood up and began to speak unto them, bidding them to be of good comfort.
Mosiah 11:200 And now it came to pass that Alma began from this time forward to teach the people, And those which were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto them,
Alma 1:8 And it came to pass that he did teach these things so much that many did believe on his words, even so many that they began to support him and give him money;
Alma 1:9 And he began to be lifted up in the pride of his heart and to wear very costly apparel, Yea, and even began to establish a church after the manner of his preaching.
Alma 1:11 And he began to contend with him sharply, that he might lead away the people of the church; But the man withstood him, admonishing him with the words of God.
Alma 1:13 Now because Gideon withstood him with the words of God, he was wroth with Gideon and drew his sword and began to smite him;
Alma 1:28 But it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church of God began to persecute those that did belong to the church of God and had taken upon them the name of Christ,
Alma 1:32 Nevertheless, there were many among them who began to be proud and began to contend warmly with their adversaries, even unto blows, Yea, they would smite one another with their fists.
Alma 1:42 And thus they did establish the affairs of the church; And thus they began to have continual peace again, notwithstanding all their persecutions.
Alma 1:43 And now because of the steadiness of the church, they began to be exceeding rich, having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need -
Alma 1:53 And it came to pass in the commencement of the fifth year of their reign there began to be a contention among the people, For a certain man, being called Amlici - He being a very cunning man, yea, a wise man as to the wisdom of the world, He being after the order of the man that slew Gideon by the sword who was executed according to the law -
Alma 1:54 Now this Amlici had, by his cunning, drawn away much people after him, even so much that they began to be very powerful; And they began to endeavor to establish Amlici to be a king over the people.
Alma 1:70 And it came to pass that the Amlicites came up upon the Hill Amnihu which was east of the River Sidon which ran by the Land of Zarahemla; And there they began to make war with the Nephites.
Alma 1:71 Now Alma, he being the chief judge and the governor of the people of Nephi, Therefore, he went up with his people - yea, with his captains and chief captains - yea, at the head of his armies against the Amlicites to battle; And they began to slay the Amlicites upon the hill east of Sidon.
Alma 1:73 Nevertheless, the Lord did strengthen the hand of the Nephites that they slew the Amlicites with a great slaughter, that they began to flee before them.
Alma 1:93 And it came to pass that when they had all crossed the River Sidon, that the Lamanites and the Amlicites began to flee before them, notwithstanding they were so numerous that they could not be numbered;
Alma 1:117 Now the Amlicites knew not that they were fulfilling the words of God when they began to mark themselves in their foreheads;
Alma 1:125 And then they returned again and began to establish peace in the land, being troubled no more for a time with their enemies.
Alma 2:4 And they began to establish the church more fully; Yea, and many were baptized in the waters of Sidon and were joined to the church of God,
Alma 2:8 And it came to pass in the eighth year of the reign of the judges that the people of the church began to wax proud, Because of their exceeding riches, and their fine silks and their fine-twined linen,
Alma 2:10 And in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes, for they began to wear very costly apparel.
Alma 2:13 For they saw and beheld with great sorrow that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world,
Alma 2:14 That they began to be scornful, one toward another, And they began to persecute those that did not believe, according to their own will and pleasure.
Alma 2:15 And thus in this eighth year of the reign of the judges there began to be great contentions among the people of the church;
Alma 2:17 And thus ended the eighth year of the reign of the judges; And the wickedness of the church was a great stumbling block to those who did not belong to the church; And thus the church began to fail in its progress.
Alma 2:18 And it came to pass in the commencement of the ninth year, Alma seeing the wickedness of the church, And seeing also that the example of the church began to lead those who were unbelievers on from one piece of iniquity to another, thus bringing on the destruction of the people,
Alma 2:22 And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, He began to be very sorrowful; Nevertheless, the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.
Alma 3:1 Now it came to pass that Alma began to declare the word of God unto the people, first in the Land of Zarahemla and from thence throughout all the land;
Alma 3:3 "I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father Alma to be a high priest over the church of God, he having power and authority from God to do these things, Behold, I say unto you that he began to establish a church in the land which was in the borders of Nephi -
Alma 3:7 And we were brought into this land and here we began to establish the church of God throughout this land also.
Alma 4:4 I mean those which were lifted up in the pride of their hearts - The same were rejected and their names were blotted out, that their names were not numbered among those of the righteous. And thus they began to establish the order of the church in the City of Zarahemla.
Alma 4:9 And Alma went and began to declare the word of God unto the church which was established in the Valley of Gideon, According to the revelation of the truth of the word which had been spoken by his fathers,
Alma 5:42 And may the Lord bless you and keep your garments spotless, That ye may at last be brought to sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the holy prophets which have been ever since the world began, Having your garments spotless, even as their garments are spotless, In the kingdom of heaven, to go no more out.
Alma 6:5 And he began to teach the people in the Land of Melek according to the holy order of God by which he had been called; And he began to teach the people throughout all the Land of Melek.
Alma 6:9 And it came to pass that when Alma had come to the City of Ammonihah, he began to preach the word of God unto them.
Alma 6:35 And it came to pass that Alma tarried many days with Amulek before he began to preach unto the people.
Alma 6:42 And it came to pass that they went forth and began to preach and to prophesy unto the people, according to the spirit and power which the Lord had given them.
Alma 7:1 And again, I, Alma, having been commanded of God that I should take Amulek and go forth and preach again unto this people, or the people which were in the City of Ammonihah, And it came to pass as I began to preach unto them, they began to contend with me, saying: "Who art thou?
Alma 7:50 And it came to pass that Amulek went and stood forth and began to preach unto them also.
Alma 8:18 And now when Amulek had spoken these words, the people began to be astonished, Seeing there was more than one witness which testified of the things whereof they were accused, and also of the things which were to come, according to the spirit of prophecy which was in them.
Alma 8:23 And it came to pass that they began to question Amulek that thereby they might make him cross his words, or contradict the words which he should speak.
Alma 8:25 But it came to pass as they began to question him, he perceived their thoughts and he saith unto them: "O ye wicked and perverse generation! Ye lawyers and hypocrites! For ye are laying the foundations of the devil;
Alma 8:67 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: "Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you?"
Alma 8:108 Now, when Amulek had finished these words, the people began again to be astonished, and also Zeezrom began to tremble.
Alma 9:1 Now Alma seeing that the words of Amulek had silenced Zeezrom, for he beheld that Amulek had caught him in his lying and deceiving to destroy him, And seeing that he began to tremble under a consciousness of his guilt, He opened his mouth and began to speak unto him and to establish the words of Amulek and to explain things beyond, or to unfold the scriptures beyond that which Amulek had done.
Alma 9:10 Now when Alma had spoken these words, Zeezrom began to tremble more exceedingly, for he was convinced more and more of the power of God;
Alma 9:13 And Zeezrom began to inquire of them diligently, that he might know more concerning the kingdom of God.
Alma 9:15 And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, saying: "It is given unto many to know the mysteries of God,
Alma 9:33 Now it came to pass that when Alma had made an end of speaking these words, the people began to be more astonished;
Alma 9:49 And they began from that time forth to call on His name. "Therefore, God conversed with men and made known unto them the plan of redemption which had been prepared from the foundation of the world;
Alma 10:32 And it came to pass that after he had made an end of speaking unto the people, Many of them did believe on his words and began to repent and to search the scriptures;
Alma 10:41 And his soul began to be harrowed up under a consciousness of his own guilt, Yea, he began to be encircled about by the pains of hell.
Alma 10:42 And it came to pass that he began to cry unto the people, saying: "Behold, I am guilty and these men are spotless before God!"
Alma 10:43 And it came to pass that he began to plead for them from that time forth, but they reviled him, saying: "Art thou also possessed with the devil?"
Alma 10:77 O Lord! give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance." And they brake the cords with which they were bound; And when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
Alma 10:90 And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind until it did become exceeding sore, having no deliverance; Therefore, he began to be scorched with a burning heat.
Alma 10:91 Now when he heard that Alma and Amulek were in the Land of Sidom, his heart began to take courage, And he sent a message immediately unto them, desiring them to come unto him.
Alma 10:100 And it came to pass that when Alma had said these words, that Zeezrom leaped upon his feet and began to walk;
Alma 10:102 And Alma baptized Zeezrom unto the Lord; And he began from that time forth to preach unto the people.
Alma 10:108 Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom, seeing a great check, Yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts and began to humble themselves before God,
Alma 10:109 And began to assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries to worship God before the altar, Watching and praying continually that they might be delivered from Satan and from death and from destruction -
Alma 11:2 For behold, the armies of the Lamanites had come in on the wilderness side into the borders of the land, even into the City of Ammonihah, and began to slay the people and to destroy the city.
Alma 12:40 Now the servants of the king began to murmur, saying: "Now the king will slay us as he has our brethren because their flocks were scattered by the wickedness of these men."
Alma 12:41 And they began to weep exceedingly, saying: "Behold, our flocks are scattered already."
Alma 12:52 But Ammon stood forth and began to cast stones at them with his sling, yea, with mighty power he did sling stones amongst them;
Alma 12:53 And thus he slew a certain number of them insomuch that they began to be astonished at his power;
Alma 12:57 For he did withstand their blows by smiting their arms with the edge of his sword, insomuch that they began to be astonished and began to flee before him,
Alma 12:72 Nevertheless, Lamoni began to fear exceedingly with fear, lest he had done wrong in slaying his servants,
Alma 12:101 And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness and said unto him: "Believest thou that there is a God?"
Alma 12:114 Now when Ammon had said these words, he began to the creation of the world, and also to the creation of Adam, And told him all the things concerning the fall of man;
Alma 12:122 And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, have mercy! According to Thy abundant mercy, which Thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me and my people!"
Alma 12:146 And Ammon fell upon his knees and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what He had done for his brethren;
Alma 12:148 Now when the servants of the king had seen that they had fallen, they also began to cry unto God, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them also,
Alma 12:153 Therefore, she ran forth from house to house, making it known unto the people; And they began to assemble themselves together unto the house of the king.
Alma 12:156 And now the people began to murmur among themselves, Some saying that it was a great evil that had come upon them, or upon the king and his house because he had suffered that the Nephite should remain in the land.
Alma 12:163 And they began to marvel again among themselves what could be the cause of this great power, or what all these things could mean.
Alma 12:167 And they said that it was this Great Spirit which had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites; And thus the contention began to be exceeding sharp among them.
Alma 12:173 And he immediately, seeing the contention among his people, went forth and began to rebuke them and to teach them the words which he had heard from the mouth of Ammon; And as many as heard his words believed and were converted unto the Lord;
Alma 12:206 Now when the king saw that Ammon could slay him, he began to plead with Ammon that he would spare his life;
Alma 12:210 Now when Ammon had said these words, the king began to rejoice because of his life;
Alma 13:4 And it came to pass that Aaron came to the City of Jerusalem and firstly began to preach to the Amalekites;
Alma 13:5 And he began to preach to them in their synagogues, for they had built synagogues after the order of the Nehors, for many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites were after the order of the Nehors.
Alma 13:6 Therefore, as Aaron entered into one of their synagogues to preach unto the people, and as he was speaking unto them, Behold, there arose an Amalekite and began to contend with him, saying:
Alma 13:13 Now Aaron began to open the scripture unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and also concerning the resurrection of the dead, And that there could be no redemption for mankind save it were through the death and sufferings of Christ and the atonement of His blood.
Alma 13:14 And it came to pass that as he began to expound these things unto them, they were angry with him and began to mock him, And they would not hear the words which he spake;

Alma 22:15 And they also began a foundation for a city between the City of Moroni and the City of Aaron, joining the borders of Aaron and Moroni; And they called the name of the city, or the land, Nephihah.
Alma 22:16 And they also began in that same year to build many cities on the north, One in a particular manner which they called Lehi, which was in the north by the borders of the seashore. And thus ended the twentieth year.
Alma 22:27 For behold, the people which possessed the Land of Morionton did claim a part of the Land of Lehi; Therefore, there began to be a warm contention between them, insomuch that the people of Morionton took up arms against their brethren, And they were determined by the sword to slay them.

Alma 26:62 "And it came to pass that the Lamanites took courage and began to pursue them; And thus were the Lamanites pursuing them with great vigor when Helaman came upon their rear with his two thousand and began to slay them exceedingly, Insomuch that the whole army of the Lamanites halted and turned upon Helaman.

Alma 26:149 And when the Lamanites saw that they were marching toward the Land of Zarahemla, They were exceeding fraid, lest there was a plan laid to lead them on to destruction; Therefore, they began to retreat into the wilderness again, yea, even back by the same way which they had come.
Alma 27:4 And it came to pass when Moroni had sent this epistle to the Land of Zarahemla, He began again to lay a plan that he might obtain the remainder of those possessions and cities which the Lamanites had taken from them.

Helaman 1:1 And now behold, it came to pass in the commencement of the fortieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, There began to be a serious difficulty among the people of the Nephites;
Helaman 1:2 For behold, Pahoron had died and gone the way of all the earth; Therefore, there began to be a serious contention concerning who should have the judgment seat among the brethren which were the sons of Pahoron.
Helaman 1:31 And thus he did; And he did head them before they came to the Land Bountiful and gave unto them battle, Insomuch that they began to retreat back toward the Land of Zarahemla.
Helaman 1:37 And it came to pass in the forty and second year of the reign of the judges, After Moronihah had established again the peace between the Nephites and the Lamanites, Behold, there was no one to fill the judgment seat; Therefore, there began to be a contention again among the people concerning who should fill the judgment seat.
Helaman 2:8 And it came to pass that they did multiply and spread, And did go forth from the Land Southward to the Land Northward, And did spread insomuch that they began to cover the face of the whole earth - from the sea South to the sea North, from the sea West to the sea East.
Helaman 2:19 And it came to pass that he had two sons - He gave unto the eldest the name of Nephi, and unto the youngest the name of Lehi; And they began to grow up unto the Lord.
Helaman 2:20 And it came to pass that the wars and contentions began to cease, in a small degree, among the people of the Nephites, In the latter end of the forty and eighth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
Helaman 2:29 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 - And they were lifted up in pride, even to the persecution of many of their brethren.
Helaman 2:33 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.
Helaman 2:55 Yea, they began to remember the prophecies of Alma and also the words of Mosiah. And they saw that they had been a stiff-necked people, And that they had set at naught the commandments of God;
Helaman 2:58 And because of their iniquity, The church had begun to dwindle; And they began to disbelieve in the spirit of prophecy and in the spirit of revelation; And the judgments of God did stare them in the face.
Helaman 2:89 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did stand forth and began to speak unto them, saying: "Fear not! For behold, it is God that hath shown unto you this marvelous thing, In the which is shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us."
Helaman 2:138 And in the commencement of the sixty and seventh year, the people began to grow exceeding wicked again;
Helaman 2:139 For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world, That they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodsheds; Therefore, they began to set their hearts upon their riches;
Helaman 2:140 Yea, they began to seek to get gain that they might be lifted up one above another; Therefore, they began to commit secret murders and to rob and to plunder, that they might get gain.
Helaman 2:161 And thus we see that the Nephites did begin to dwindle in unbelief and grow in wickedness and abominations, While the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God; Yea, they did begin to keep His statutes and commandments and to walk in truth and uprightness before Him.
Helaman 2:162 And thus we see that the Spirit of the Lord began to withdraw from the Nephites because of the wickedness and the hardness of their hearts.
Helaman 2:163 And thus we see that the Lord began to pour out His Spirit upon the Lamanites because of their easiness and willingness to believe in His word.
Helaman 3:43 Therefore, he began again to speak unto them, seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some, insomuch that the remainder of them did fear;
Helaman 3:89 Nevertheless, they caused that Nephi should be taken and bound and brought before the multitude; And they began to question him in divers ways, that they might cross him, that they might accuse him, to death,
Helaman 3:125 And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own house, But did return unto the multitudes which were scattered about upon the face of the land, And began to declare unto them the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him concerning their destruction, if they did not repent.
Helaman 3:131 And it came to pass that they would not hearken unto his words; And there began to be contentions, insomuch that they were divided against themselves and began to slay one another with the sword.
Helaman 4:9 And it came to pass that the people saw that they were about to perish by famine, And they began to remember the Lord their God; And they began to remember the words of Nephi.
Helaman 4:10 And the people began to plead with their chief judges and their leaders, that they would say unto Nephi: "Behold, we know that thou art a man of God; And therefore, cry unto the Lord our God that He turn away from us this famine, lest all the words which thou hast spoken concerning our destruction be fulfilled."
Helaman 4:24 And thus it did come to pass that the people of Nephi began to prosper again in the land, And began to build up their waste places, And began to multiply and spread, Even until they did cover the whole face of the land - both on the northward and on the southward, from the Sea West to the Sea East.
Helaman 4:26 And the seventy and seventh year began in peace; And the church did spread throughout the face of all the land; And the more part of the people - both the Nephites and the Lamanites - did belong to the church; And they did have exceeding great peace in the land; And thus ended the seventy and seventh year.
Helaman 4:28 And in the seventy and ninth year, there began to be much strife.
Helaman 4:44 And in the eighty and second year, they began again to forget the Lord their God.
Helaman 4:45 And in the eighty and third year, they began to wax strong in iniquity.
Helaman 5:2 And it came to pass that in this year there was one, Samuel, a Lamanite, came into the Land of Zarahemla and began to preach unto the people.
Helaman 5:119 And as they went forth to lay their hands on him, Behold, he did cast himself down from the wall and did flee out of their hands, yea, even unto his own country, And began to preach and to prophesy among his own people;
Helaman 5:124 And there was but little alteration in the affairs of the people, Save it were the people began to be more hardened in iniquity and do more and more of that which was contrary to the commandments of God in the eighty and ninth year of the reign of the judges.
Helaman 5:125 But behold, it came to pass in the ninetieth year of the reign of the judges, there were great signs given unto the people, and wonders; And the words of the prophets began to be fulfilled;
Helaman 5:126 And angels did appear unto men - wise men - and did declare unto them glad tidings of great joy; And thus in this year the scriptures began to be fulfilled.
Helaman 5:127 Nevertheless, the people began to harden their hearts - all, save it were the most believing part of them, both of the Nephites, and also of the Lamanites - And began to depend upon their own strength and upon their own wisdom, saying:
Helaman 5:129 And they began to reason and to contend among themselves, saying that, "It is not reasonable that such a Being as a Christ shall come;
3 Nephi 1:4 And it came to pass that in the commencement of the ninety and second year, Behold, the prophecies of the prophets began to be fulfilled more fully; For there began to be greater signs and greater miracles wrought among the people.
3 Nephi 1:5 But there were some which began to say that the time was past for the words to be fulfilled which were spoken by Samuel the Lamanite;
3 Nephi 1:6 And they began to rejoice over their brethren, saying: "Behold, the time is past and the words of Samuel are not fulfilled; Therefore, your joy and your faith concerning this thing hath been vain."
3 Nephi 1:7 And it came to pass that they did make a great uproar throughout the land; And the people which believed began to be very sorrowful, lest by any means those things which had been spoken might not come to pass;
3 Nephi 1:17 For he beheld at the going down of the sun there was no darkness, And the people began to be astonished because there was no darkness when the night came.
3 Nephi 1:18 And there were many which had not believed the words of the prophets fell to the earth and became as if they were dead, For they knew that the great plan of destruction which they had laid for those who had believed in the words of the prophets had been frustrated, for the sign which had been given was already at hand; And they began to know that the Son of God must shortly appear.
3 Nephi 1:20 For they knew that the prophets had testified of these things for many years and that the sign which had been given was already at hand; And they began to fear because of their iniquity and their unbelief.
3 Nephi 1:25 And it came to pass from this time forth there began to be lyings sent forth among the people by Satan to harden their hearts, to the intent that they might not believe in those signs and wonders which they had seen;
3 Nephi 1:28 And thus the people began again to have peace in the land; And there were no contentions, save it were a few that began to preach, endeavoring to prove by the scriptures that it was no more expedient to observe the law of Moses -
3 Nephi 1:35 And it came to pass that in the ninety and fourth year they began to increase in a great degree because there were many dissenters of the Nephites which did flee unto them, which did cause much sorrow unto those Nephites which did remain in the land.
3 Nephi 1:36 And there was also a cause of much sorrow among the Lamanites; For behold, they had many children which did grow up and began to wax strong in years, That they became for themselves and were led away by some which were Zoramites, by their lyings and their flattering words, to join those Gaddianton robbers;
3 Nephi 1:37 And thus were the Lamanites afflicted also and began to decrease as to their faith and righteousness because of the wickedness of the rising generation.
3 Nephi 1:38 And it came to pass that thus passed away the ninety and fifth year also, And the people began to forget those signs and wonders which they had heard, And began to be less and less astonished at a sign or a wonder from heaven,
3 Nephi 1:39 Insomuch that they began to be hard in their hearts and blind in their minds, And began to disbelieve all which they had heard and seen, Imagining up some vain thing in their hearts, that it was wrought by men and by the power of the devil to lead away and deceive the hearts of the people;
3 Nephi 1:41 And it came to pass that the people began to wax strong in wickedness and abominations, And they did not believe that there should be any more signs or wonders given;
3 Nephi 1:45 Now the Nephites began to reckon their time from this period which the sign was given, or from the coming of Christ;
3 Nephi 1:48 And it came to pass in the thirteenth year there began to be wars and contentions throughout all the land; For the Gaddianton robbers had become so numerous and did slay so many of the people, and did lay waste so many cities, and did spread so much death and carnage throughout the land, That it became expedient that all the people, both the Nephites and the Lamanites, should take up arms against them;
3 Nephi 2:39 And it came to pass that in the latter end of the eighteenth year, those armies of robbers had prepared for battle and began to come down and to sally forth from the hills and out of the mountains and the wilderness and their strongholds and their secret places,
3 Nephi 2:40 And began to take possession of the lands, both which was in the Land South and which was in the Land North, And began to take possession of all the lands which had been deserted by the Nephites and the cities which had been left desolate.
3 Nephi 2:53 And it came to pass that when the armies of Giddianhi saw this, they began to shout with a loud voice because of their joy, For they had supposed that the Nephites had fallen with fear because of the terror of their armies;
3 Nephi 2:73 And this did they do in the nighttime and got on their march beyond the robbers, So that on the morrow when the robbers began their march, they were met by the armies of the Nephites, both in their front and in their rear;
3 Nephi 3:5 And they began again to prosper and to wax great. And the twenty and sixth and seventh years passed away and there was great order in the land; And they had formed their laws according to equity and justice.
3 Nephi 3:10 But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year, there began to be some disputings among the people;
3 Nephi 3:12 And the people began to be distinguished by ranks according to their riches and their chance for learning -
3 Nephi 3:15 And thus there became a great inequality in all the land, insomuch that the church began to be broken up; Yea, insomuch that in the thirtieth year the church was broken up in all the land, save it were among a few of the Lamanites which were converted unto the true faith;
3 Nephi 3:22 And there began to be men inspired from heaven and sent forth, standing among the people in all the land, preaching and testifying boldly of the sins and iniquities of the people,
3 Nephi 3:57 Therefore, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds - Went forth among them in that same year and began to testify boldly repentance and remission of sins through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nephi 4:3 And now it came to pass - if there was no mistake made by this man in the reckoning of our time - the thirty and third year had passed away; And the people began to look with great earnestness for the sign which had been given by the prophet Samuel the Lamanite,
3 Nephi 4:5 And there began to be great doubtings and disputations among the people, notwithstanding so many signs had been given.
3 Nephi 4:60 And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, Behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindreds and friends.
3 Nephi 9:13 And he came up out of the water and began to baptize, And he did baptize all they whom Jesus had chosen.
3 Nephi 9:19 And behold, they began to pray, And they did pray unto Jesus, calling Him their Lord and their God.
3 Nephi 11:33 If they be good, to the resurrection of everlasting life, And if they be evil, to the resurrection of damnation, Being on a parallel, the one on the one hand, and the other on the other hand - According to the mercy and the justice and the holiness which is in Christ, which was before the world began.
3 Nephi 12:10 And it came to pass that the disciples whom Jesus had chosen began from that time forth to baptize and to teach as many as did come unto them, And as many as were baptized in the name of Jesus were filled with the Holy Ghost;
4 Nephi 1:23 And he kept it eighty and four years; And there was still peace in the land, save it were a small part of the people which had revolted from the church and took upon them the name of Lamanites; Therefore, there began to be Lamanites again in the land.
4 Nephi 1:27 And now in this two hundred and first year, there began to be among them those which were lifted up in pride, Such as the wearing of costly apparel and all manner of fine pearls and of the fine things of the world;
4 Nephi 1:28 And from that time forth, they did have their goods and their substance no more common among them, And they began to be divided into classes, And they began to build up churches unto themselves to get gain, And began to deny the true church of Christ.
4 Nephi 1:50 And it came to pass that the wicked part of the people began again to build up the secret oaths and combinations of Gaddianton;
4 Nephi 1:51 And also the people which were called the people of Nephi began to be proud in their hearts because of their exceeding riches and became vain like unto their brethren the Lamanites;
4 Nephi 1:52 And from this time the disciples began to sorrow for the sins of the world.
Mormon 1:2 And about the time that Ammoron hid up the records unto the Lord, he came unto me, I, being about ten years of age - And I began to be learned somewhat after the manner of the learning of my people - And Ammoron saith unto me: "I perceive that thou art a sober child and art quick to observe;
Mormon 1:8 And it came to pass that in this year, there began to be a war between the Nephites - which consisted of the Nephites and the Jacobites and the Josephites and the Zoramites - And this war was between the Nephites, and the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites;
Mormon 1:10 And it came to pass that the war began to be among them in the borders of Zarahemla by the waters of Sidon.
Mormon 1:19 And these Gaddianton robbers which were among the Lamanites did infest the land, Insomuch that the inhabitants thereof began to hide up their treasures in the earth, And they became slippery because the Lord had cursed the land, that they could not hold them nor retain them again.
Mormon 1:21 And it came to pass that in that same year, there began to be a war again between the Nephites and the Lamanites;
Mormon 1:24 And it came to pass that in the three hundred and twenty and seventh year, the Lamanites did come upon us with exceeding great power, insomuch that they did frighten my armies; Therefore, they would not fight, And they began to retreat toward the North Countries.
Mormon 1:34 And it came to pass that the Nephites began to repent of their iniquity and began to cry, even as had been prophesied by Samuel the prophet; For behold, no man could keep that which was his own, for the thieves and the robbers and the murderers and the magic art and the witchcraft which was in the land;
Mormon 1:35 Thus there began to be a mourning and a lamentation in all the land because of these things, and more especially among the people of Nephi.
Mormon 1:50 And it came to pass in the three hundred and forty and sixth year they began to come upon us again.
Mormon 1:74 And now because of this great thing which my people the Nephites had done, They began to boast in their own strength and began to swear before the heavens that they would avenge themselves of the blood of their brethren which had been slain by their enemies;
