By contrast, of the three Nephites-who were translated that they might be freed from the effects of a fallen world-we read: “There was a change wrought upon them, insomuch that Satan could have no power over them, that he could not tempt them; and they were sanctified in the flesh, that they were holy, and that the powers of the earth could not hold them” (3 Nephi 28:39). This propensity of the mortal body to evil caused Jacob to challenge his brethren to reconcile themselves “to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh,” adding that “it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved” (2 Nephi 10:24).
