The Book of Mormon - exploring a word pattern

. . . Pattern Fourteen commandments:

[552]Written by way of commandment, also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation.
[003]having great desires to know of the mysteries of God I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise
[007]we could preserve the commandments of the Lord unto our children
[008]ye have not hearkened unto the word of the Lord
[009]he did exhort them then with all the feeling of a tender parent
[013b]I beheld a book . . . The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel . . . they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious
[013c]the power of the Lamb of God, descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory
[014]they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel
[015]the justice of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous; the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming fire
[016b]I, Nephi, did go forth up into the top of the mountain
[017a]the commandments of God must be fulfilled
[017b]thou art like unto our father, led away by the foolish imaginations of his heart
[019]they were led forth by his matchless power into the land of promise
[024]my highways shall be exalted . . . the feet of those who are in the east shall be established; and break forth into singing
[027]Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence
[028]keep the commandments of the Lord, the Lord hath consecrated this land for the security of thy seed
[029]thy soul shall be blessed, thy days shall be spent in the service of thy God
[030]by the temporal law they were cut off . . . by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good
