“They Are More Righteous Than You”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The Nephites had feasted upon the good things of the gospel while the Lamanites had tasted but a meager ration, and yet the latter were more faithful: this to their glory and to the shame of the Nephites. The divine word proclaims: “For of him unto whom much is given much is required; and he who sins against the greater light shall receive the greater condemnations (D&C 82:3). See also Luke 12:48; Helaman 15:11-15.”
