“Thus We See”

Church Educational System
Mormon often used the phrase “thus we see” when he desired to impress a lesson upon his readers (see Alma 24:19, 27; 28:13–14; 30:60). At the end of his recital of the missionary labors of the sons of Mosiah and the subsequent battles between the Lamanites and the Nephites, Mormon emphasized two main points:

1. There is a great inequality of man due to sin, transgression, and the power of the devil. Satan devises cunning plans to ensnare the hearts of men and lead them to destruction (see Alma 28:13).

2. There is a great need for righteous men to labor diligently in the vineyards of the Lord and lead men back to God (see v. 14).
