That you may be equal in the bonds of heavenly things, yea, and earthly things also ... For if ye are
not equal in earthly things ye cannot be equal in obtaining heavenly things. Doctrine & Covenants 78:5
Why did the Anti-Nephi-Lehies bury their swords in the ground?

If we [the Anti-Nephi-Lehies] should stain our swords again they can no more be washed bright through
the blood of the Son of our great God. Alma 24:13
