Elder Holland teaches, "When we face such temptations in our time, we must declare, as young Nephi did in his, “[I will] give place no more for the enemy of my soul. We can reject the evil one! May the joy of our fidelity to the highest and best within us be ours as we keep our love and our marriages, our society and our souls, as pure as they were meant to be."
