The Book of Moroni — Chapter 1
1 Now I, Moroni, did not think I would be able to write anything more after I finished the history of the Jaredites, but I have not been killed yet. I am hiding from the Lamanites so that they will not kill me.
2 They are fighting each other, and they are so full of hate that they are killing every Nephite who will not deny the Christ.
3 I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ, so I go wherever I can to keep from being killed.
4 Since I have not been killed yet, as I thought I would be, I will write a few more things in the hope that, God willing, they may someday do some good for my brothers and sisters, the Lamanites.
