Third Incarnation
Around the year 245, a group of Nephites once again resurrected the old oaths and secrets and reestablished the Gadianton robbers. Over the course of the next 50 years they spread all over the land and became extremely wealthy.
The Gadianton band later united with the Lamanites, and the combined force completely wiped out the Nephites.

Famous quotes containing the word incarnation:
“Service ... is love in action, love “made flesh”; service is the body, the incarnation of love. Love is the impetus, service the act, and creativity the result with many by-products.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 3 (1962)
“All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
