17  And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.

  44  And by your hands I will work a marvelous work among the children of men, unto the ^bconvincing of many of their sins, that they may come unto repentance, and that they may come unto the kingdom of my Father.
