“Whosoever Breaketh This Commandment Suffereth Himself to He Led into Temptation”
This phrase may have two meanings, both of which are appropriate. In the context of the passage, Jesus has commanded his Nephite listeners to pray for and fellowship others, and “not forbid any man from coming unto [the Church].” Jesus could be saying that those who break that commandment will be led into temptation by virtue of their own pride and self-righteousness (see the example of the Zoramites, Alma 31). Pride and selfishness always lead to the breaking of other commandments.
