In Moroni 8:8, in the Book of Mormon, Christ, following his death and resurrection, is speaking to the peoples of the western hemisphere, known as the Nephitesand Lamanites.
"Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord, and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away in me."
