Mosiah 8
1 And it came to pass that after Abinadi had made an end of these sayings, that he said unto them: "Have ye taught this people that they should observe to do all these things, for to keep these commandments?

2 I say unto you, nay, for if ye had, the Lord would not have caused me to come forth and to prophesy evil concerning this people.

3 "And now ye have said that salvation cometh by the law of Moses;

4 I say unto you that it is expedient that ye should keep the law of Moses as yet, But I say unto you that the time shall come when it shall no more be expedient to keep the law of Moses.

5 "And moreover, I say unto you that salvation doth not come by the law alone; And were it not for the atonement which God Himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of His people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

6 "And now I say unto you that it was expedient that there should be a law given to the children of Israel, yea, even a very strict law, For they were a stiff-necked people, quick to do iniquity and slow to remember the Lord their God;

7 Therefore, there was a law given them, yea, a law of performances and ordinances, A law which they were to observe strictly from day to day to keep them in remembrance of God and their duty toward Him.

8 "But behold, I say unto you that all these things were types of things to come.
