Abstract

Elements from the Sermon at the Temple frequently reappear throughout the rest of 3 Nephi. One might wonder at first why there is so much repetition in this part of the Book of Mormon. However, when one reads carefully, it becomes clear that Christ is commenting on and clarifying the Sermon at the Temple throughout the rest of 3 Nephi.
