“And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people. … and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities. … the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance.”
Alma 7:11–13
In the Book of Mormon, as Alma testifed of the Savior's Atoning sacrifice, he organized his thoughts into a chiasm - a literary pattern where key words, phrases, or ideas are repeated in reverse order. Alma's use of chiasmus makes it clear that Christ’s mortal nature—the “flesh”—was an essential part of His Atonement.
