And it came to pass that
I beheld the church of the Lamb of God,
and its numbers were few,
because of the wickedness and
abominations of the whore
who sat upon many waters;
nevertheless, I beheld that
the church of the Lamb,
who were the saints of God,
were also upon all the face of the earth;
and their dominions upon
the face of the earth were small,
because of the wickedness
of the great whore whom I saw.
(1 Nephi 14:12)
