Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates save it be that I think it be sacred. And now, if I do err, even did they err of old; not that I would excuse myself because of other men, but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the flesh, I would excuse myself.
Nephi's great weakness is that he is mortal. That is the weakness in all of us. God gave us this weakness that we may be humble. God gives only good gifts, so our mortal weakness is a good thing if we learn humility and reliance on God. If we fight God about our mortality, we miss out on the true purpose of the gift. He will not overpower our agency if do not choose to come to him. We only prolong our misery.
