Book of Mormon Mosiah 20:22
"it is better that we should be in bondage than that we should lose our lives"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 22:4
"I will be thy servant and deliver this people out of bondage"

Gideon's two speeches sit on opposite sides of 'bondage': submission counseled when the alternative is annihilation (20:20-22), deliverance authored when a bloodless exit exists (22:2-8). The text never juxtaposes the speeches; consistent-counselor arc offered for weighing, hedged.
