Mosiah 2:4

and also, that they might give thanks to the Lord their God, who had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, and who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies, and had appointed just men to be their teachers; and also, a just man to be their king, who had established peace in the land of Zarahemla, and who had taught them to keep the commandments of God, that they might rejoice, and be filled with love towards God, and all men.

They also wanted to give thanks to the Lord their God. He had brought them out of Jerusalem. He had saved them from their enemies. He had chosen good men to be their teachers and a good man to be their king. The king had made peace in the land of Zarahemla. He had taught them to obey God’s commandments so they could be happy and filled with love toward God and all people.

They also came to thank the Lord their God—the one who had brought them out of Jerusalem, rescued them from their enemies, given them good teachers, and appointed a righteous king who had brought peace to Zarahemla. He had taught them God’s commandments so they could live with joy, filled with love for God and everyone around them.
