Shared words: the children of Christ

'children of Christ' occurs only three times in the corpus: Mosiah 5:7 (Benjamin's covenant people, 'spiritually begotten'), 4 Ne 1:17 (the converted post-visitation society made 'in one'), and Mormon 9:26 ('Who will despise the children of Christ?' -- a warning sense, different, forward). Benjamin's covenant title, first conferred on those who took the name of Christ, is realized in the one-people society of 4 Nephi. The King Benjamin name-covenant itself is treated on king-benjamin.md.
