Mosiah 15:5 

5 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.

“Here again we see Abinadi's play upon words, his use of words with equivalent meanings-flesh, Son, and man on the one hand; Spirit, Father, and God, on the other. The man of flesh, the Son, the mortal Messiah-will subject himself to the will of the Spirit. So it is for all of the children of God-they must yield to the impressions of the Spirit and put off the natural man in order to become a Saint (see Mosiah 3:19).” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 2, p. 231)
