6 And now there was nothing in all the land to hinder the people from prospering continually, except they should fall into transgressions;

7 And now it was Gidgiddoni and the judge Lachoneus and those which had been appointed leaders which had established this great peace in the land.

8 And it came to pass that there were many cities built anew and there were many old cities repaired, And there were many highways cast up and many roads made which led from city to city and from land to land and from place to place;

9 And thus passed away the twenty and eighth year and the people had continual peace.

10 But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year, there began to be some disputings among the people;

11 And some were lifted up unto pride and boastings because of their exceeding great riches, yea, even unto great persecutions, For there were many merchants in the land, and also many lawyers and many officers.

12 And the people began to be distinguished by ranks according to their riches and their chance for learning -

13 Yea, some were ignorant because of their poverty, and others did receive great learning because of their riches;

14 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceeding humble; Some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God.

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;

16 And they would not depart from it, for they were firm and steadfast and immovable, willing with all diligence to keep the commands of the Lord.
