Joseph teaches the Nauvoo Relief Society that he is fallible and has "the frailty of human nature like other men."
Discourse, 31 August 1842:[80], The Joseph Smith Papers website, accessed October 31, 2023
Prest. S. continued by saying, I shall triumph over my enemies— I have begun to triumph over them at home and I shall do it abroad— all those that rise up against me will feel the weight of their iniquity upon their own heads— those that speak evil are abominable characters— and full of iniquity— All the fuss and all the stir against me, is like the jack in the lantern, it cannot be found. Altho’ I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charg’d with doing— the wrong that I do is thro’ the frailty of human nature like other men. No man lives without fault.
