Book of Mormon Enos 1:18
"Thy fathers have also required of me this thing; and it shall be done unto them according to their faith; for their faith was like unto thine"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 25:21
"the Lord God promised unto me that these things which I write shall be kept and preserved, and handed down unto my seed, from generation to generation"

Enos 1:18 leaves the fathers and their requests unnamed, and the corpus offers more than one candidate — 2 Nephi 25:21 (Nephi's preservation promise), 2 Nephi 29:2 (the Lord recalling promises to Nephi AND his father that 'the words of your seed should proceed forth … unto your seed'), and 2 Nephi 3:5/19-21 (Joseph of Egypt's obtained promise, which 25:21 itself says it fulfills); cf. Jacob 1:3. The far-end stays 25:21 as one plausible candidate. No single candidate is the text's own answer.
