The will of the flesh
Opens the way
To captivity, death
And even Hell, some day
And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh and the evil which is therein, which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate, to bring you down to hell, that he may reign over you in his own kingdom. 2 Nephi 2:29 https://www.lds.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/2?id=p29〈=eng#p29
Humbly in prayer I decided
To seek more of God's Word
To be personally guided

At the picture of power
You see that no matter what tries
You must lead and empower

And it came to pass that when my father beheld the things which were written upon the ball, he did fear and tremble exceedingly, and also my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and our wives. 28 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith and diligence and heed which we did give unto them. 1 Nephi 16:27–28 https://www.lds.org/study/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/16?id=p27-p28〈=eng#p27

And now, if I do err, even did they err of old; not that I would excuse myself because of other men, but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the flesh, I would excuse myself. 7 For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his 1 Nephi 19:6–7 https://www.lds.org/study/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/19?id=p6-p7〈=eng#p6
