Mosiah 15: 9 Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice.
9 habiendo ascendido al cielo, henchidas de misericordia sus entrañas, lleno de compasión por los hijos de los hombres; interponiéndose entre ellos y la justicia; habiendo quebrantado los lazos de la muerte, tomado sobre sí la iniquidad y las transgresiones de ellos, habiéndolos redimido y satisfecho las exigencias de la justicia.
Christ has the bowels of mercy for us; in Spanish it says the bowels are henchidas, or swollen; full of mercy. I like that Spanish makes it clear that Christ is FULL of mercy for us. There is no doubt how Christ feels towards us. We don't need to feel unloved. He shows repeatedly He loves us.
Another one is Alma 42:24
24 For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.
24 Pues he aquí, la justicia ejerce todos sus derechos, y también la misericordia reclama cuanto le pertenece; y así, nadie se salva sino los que verdaderamente se arrepienten.
The Spanish and English frequently have different words for demands, but this time the Spanish word is rights. I like that because we can see that it isn't just that justice demands; it is the right of justice to have its consequences.
