Admonition to the Poor

Monte S. Nyman

King Benjamin’s second point is now addressed. Those who have sufficient for their needs, but not enough to help others will be judged by their attitude (v. 24). Furthermore, their attitude must come from the heart [internal] and not in meaningless words. Moses taught “Thou shalt not covet … anything that is thy neighbor’s” (Exodus 20:21; Mosiah 13:24).
