“They Are Without Principle, and Past Feeling”
A person or people without principle is without conscience. People without principle follow only their own rules of survival-having no regard for others or for society. Such people are hardened-incapable of compassion or charity for others. Hearts that are so hardened by the scar tissue of selfishness and sin cannot be pierced by the sword of the Spirit. See 1 Nephi 17:45; also Commentary 1:137; Mormon 5:16-18.
