Ang Panahon ng Gadianton

Ang Kabutihan ng mga Lamanita

Helaman 6:1

Ang pananampalataya ng mga Lamanita ay naging gayon na sila ay lahat-lahat na naging mas higit na mabubuti kaysa sa mga Nephita.

And it came to pass that when the sixty and second year of the reign of the judges had ended, all these things had happened and the Lamanites had become, the more part of them, a righteous people, insomuch that their righteousness did exceed that of the Nephites because of their firmness and their steadiness in the faith.

Helaman 6:2–3

Maraming mga Nephita ang tumalikod sa kanilang pananampalataya, subalit ang simbahan ay nagpatuloy sa paglago dahil sa patuloy na pagdaloy ng mga nagbalik-loob na mga Lamanita.

For behold, there were many of the Nephites who had become hardened and impenitent and grossly wicked, insomuch that they did reject the word of God and all the preaching and prophesying which did come among them.

Nevertheless, the people of the church did have great joy because of the conversion of the Lamanites, yea, because of the church of God, which had been established among them. And they did fellowship one with another and did rejoice one with another, and did have great joy.

Helaman 6:4–5

Ang mga mabubuting Lamanita ay nanirahan sa lupain ng mga Nephita, at nagpatotoo ng kanilang pagbabalik-loob sa Panginoon, hinihimok ang mga Nephita na magsisi.

And it came to pass that many of the Lamanites did come down into the land of Zarahemla, and did declare unto the people of the Nephites the manner of their conversion, and did exhort them to faith and repentance. Yea, and many did preach with exceedingly great power and authority, unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of humility, to be the humble followers of God and the Lamb.

Helaman 6:6

Si Nephi at si Lehi ay nagtungo sa mga hilagang lupain upang mangaral.

And it came to pass that many of the Lamanites did go into the land northward; and also Nephi and Lehi went into the land northward, to preach unto the people. And thus ended the sixty and third year.
