We can see the spirit of contention among the Nephites in the leader who ordered the execution of Zeniff when he suggested spraying the Lamanites. We can also see it among the people of king Noah as they boast in their ability to kill Lamanites. We also see that sprout in king Laman and his son who stirred their people up against the people of Zeniff.
The spirit of gluttony is evidenced in the plan of king Laman to enslave the people of Zeniff. It is also evident in the riotous living of king Noah and his priests as well as the gaudy ornamentation of his palace.
These two spirits are in ample evidence today too.
