Verse 9
- David A. Bednar, "And Nothing Shall Offend Them," Ensign, Nov 2006, pp. 89–92. Elder Bednar said: "Pahoran might easily have resented Moroni and his message, but he chose not to take offense. Pahoran responded compassionately... One of the greatest indicators of our own spiritual maturity is revealed in how we respond to the weaknesses, the inexperience, and the potentially offensive actions of others. A thing, an event, or an expression may be offensive, but you and I can choose not to be offended—and to say with Pahoran, 'it mattereth not'" (emphasis added).

Questions
- How should we view Pahoran's exhortation to "resist evil" (vs. 14) in light of the Savior's teaching to "resist not evil" (Matt 5:39)? Do Christ's teachings during his mortal ministry constitute a "higher law" than the Nephites were currently living in respect to dealing with their enemies?
