Mosiah 23:7

But he saith unto them, Behold, it is not expedient that we should have a king; for thus saith the Lord: Ye shall not esteem one flesh above another, or one man shall not think himself above another; therefore I say unto you, It is not expedient that ye should have a king.

But he said to them: “It is not good for us to have a king. The Lord says: You should not think one person is better than another. One man should not think he is above another. So I say it is not good for you to have a king.”

But he told them, “Listen, it’s not a good idea for us to have a king. The Lord says: Don’t put one person above another. Don’t let anyone think they’re better than everyone else. So I’m telling you—we shouldn’t have a king.”
