Mosiah 15:4 --and they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth--
Mosiah 15:5 and thus the flesh becoming subject to the spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked and scourged and cast out and disowned by his people.

Mosiah 15:19 For were it not for the redemption which he hath made for his people, which was prepared from the foundation of the world, I say unto you—were it not for this—that all mankind must have perished.
Mosiah 15:20 But behold, the bands of death shall be broken. And the Son reigneth and hath power over the dead; therefore he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead.
Mosiah 15:21 And there cometh a resurrection, even a first resurrection, yea, even a resurrection of those that have been and which are and which shall be, even until the resurrection of Christ, for so shall he be called.
