Questions
- vv. 10-11: Is the Lord saying that although the Lamanites are righteous now, they will fall away later? When does this happen? He also says that although they are going to sin He is going to prolong their days because He knows that they will once be restored to the knowledge of the truth at the time of the restoration? Have their been other groups of people who have sinned yet their days have been prolonged?
- vv. 7-8: What is the relationship between a "change of heart" (v. 7, cf. Alma 5:26) and being "firm and steadfast in the faith" (v. 8)?

Exegesis
- vv. 10-11: The Lord may extend this blessing to the Lamanites but not to the Nephites because of the greater light that the Nephites have been given relative to the Lamanites. (See also Alma 24:30, Hel 7:24, 3 Ne 6:18, and D&C 82:3.)
