Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon includes somewhat similar statements to Matthew 6, about teachings to the people of Nephi:
-
- Yea, blessed are the poor in spirit 'who come unto me,' for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (3 Nephi 12:3).
- And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled 'with the Holy Ghost' (3 Nephi 12:6).
