Book of Mormon Mosiah 13:28
"were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish"
Book of Mormon Jacob 7:12
"I know if there should be no atonement made all mankind must be lost"

Extends the registered jac-atone-lost chain (Jacob 7:12 / 2 Nephi 9:7) into Mosiah: same no-atonement counterfactual form (no atonement, therefore universal ruin). Distinctive to 13:28 is the agent clause 'which God himself shall make'. Abinadi repeats the counterfactual at Mosiah 15:19 ('were it not for the redemption… all mankind must have perished') and 16:4 ('would have been endlessly lost were it not that God redeemed his people').
