And now there cannot be written in this book
even a hundredth part of the things
which Jesus did truly teach unto the people.
And these things have I written,
which are a lesser part of the things
which he taught the people;
and I have written them to the intent that
they may be brought again unto this people,
from the Gentiles,
according to the words which Jesus hath spoken.
which are a lesser part of the things
which he taught the people;
and I have written them to the intent that
they may be brought again unto this people,
from the Gentiles,
according to the words which Jesus hath spoken.
And when they shall have received this,
which is expedient that they should have first,
to try their faith, and if it shall so be
that they shall believe these things
then shall the greater things
be made manifest unto them.
(3 Nephi 26:6 & 8-9)
