“when you read these things”

MoroniChapter10

v1.10

Now I, Moroni, write somewhat as seemeth me good; and I write unto my brethren, the Lamanites; and I would that they should know that more than four hundred and twenty years have passed away since the sign was given of the coming of Christ.

And I seal up these records, after I have spoken a few words by way of exhortation unto you.

Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down unto the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.

And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.

For behold, to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of wisdom;

And to another, that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

And to another, exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

And again, to another, that he may work mighty miracles;

And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning all things;

And again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits;

And again, to another, all kinds of tongues;

And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.

And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally, according as he will.

And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ.

And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts of which I have spoken, which are spiritual, never will be done away, even as long as the world shall stand, only according to the unbelief of the children of men.

Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.

And except ye have charity ye can in nowise be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can ye be saved in the kingdom of God if ye have not faith; neither can ye if ye have no hope.

And if ye have no hope ye must needs be in despair; and despair cometh because of iniquity.

And Christ truly said unto our fathers: If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me.

And now I speak unto all the ends of the earth—that if the day cometh that the power and gifts of God shall be done away among you, it shall be because of unbelief.

And wo be unto the children of men if this be the case; for there shall be none that doeth good among you, no not one. For if there be one among you that doeth good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.

And wo unto them who shall do these things away and die, for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God; and I speak it according to the words of Christ; and I lie not.

And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust?

I declare these things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold, they shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the everlasting God; and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.

And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true.

And again I would exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.

And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.

And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead. Amen.

Now I, Moroni, write a little more, as seems good to me, and I write to my brothers, the Lamanites. I want them to know that more than four hundred and twenty years have passed since the sign was given of Christ's coming. And I seal up these records after I have said a few words to urge you on.

I urge you: when you read these things, if it is wisdom in God that you should read them, remember how merciful the Lord has been to humankind, from the creation of Adam down to the time you receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

And when you receive these things, I urge you to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true. And if you ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will make the truth of it known to you by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost, you may know the truth of all things.

And whatever is good is just and true. So nothing that is good denies Christ, but acknowledges that he is. And you may know that he is by the power of the Holy Ghost. So I urge you not to deny the power of God, for he works by power, according to the faith of humankind, the same today, tomorrow, and forever.

And again, I urge you, my brothers, not to deny the gifts of God, for they are many, and they come from the same God. And there are different ways these gifts are administered, but it is the same God who works all in all. And they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God to people, to benefit them.

For to one it is given by the Spirit of God to teach the word of wisdom; To another, to teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another, great faith; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another, to work mighty miracles; To another, to prophesy about all things; To another, to see angels and ministering spirits; To another, all kinds of tongues; To another, the interpretation of languages and different kinds of tongues.

And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ, and they come to each person individually, according to his will. And I urge you, my beloved brothers, to remember that every good gift comes from Christ. And I urge you, my beloved brothers, to remember that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts I have spoken of, which are spiritual, will never be done away with as long as the world shall stand, except through the unbelief of people.

So there must be faith; and if there must be faith, there must also be hope; and if there must be hope, there must also be charity. And unless you have charity, you can in no way be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can you be saved in the kingdom of God if you do not have faith; neither can you if you have no hope. And if you have no hope, you must be in despair; and despair comes because of sin. And Christ truly said to our fathers: "If you have faith, you can do all things that are expedient to me."

And now I speak to all the ends of the earth: if the day comes that the power and gifts of God are done away with among you, it will be because of unbelief. And woe to humankind if this is the case, for there shall be none among you who does good, no, not one. For if there is one among you who does good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God. And woe to those who do away with these things and die, for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. And I say this according to the words of Christ; and I do not lie.

And I urge you to remember these things, for the time comes quickly when you will know that I do not lie, for you will see me at the bar of God. And the Lord God will say to you: "Did I not declare my words to you, which were written by this man, like one crying from the dead, indeed, as one speaking out of the dust?" I declare these things to fulfill the prophecies. And they shall go forth from the mouth of the everlasting God, and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation. And God will show you that what I have written is true.

And again I urge you to come unto Christ, lay hold on every good gift, and do not touch the evil gift or the unclean thing. And awake and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; put on your beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen your stakes and enlarge your borders forever, that you may no more be put to shame, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he has made with you, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

Come unto Christ, be perfected in him, and deny yourselves all ungodliness. And if you deny yourselves all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind, and strength, then his grace is sufficient for you, so that by his grace you may be perfect in Christ. And if by the grace of God you are perfect in Christ, you can in no way deny the power of God. And again, if by the grace of God you are perfect in Christ and do not deny his power, then you are sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father for the forgiveness of your sins, so that you become holy, without spot.

And now I bid farewell to all. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body reunite again, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both the living and the dead. Amen.

Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.

So there must be faith; and if there must be faith, there must also be hope; and if there must be hope, there must also be charity.

And except ye have charity ye can in nowise be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can ye be saved in the kingdom of God if ye have not faith; neither can ye if ye have no hope.

And unless you have charity, you can in no way be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can you be saved in the kingdom of God if you do not have faith; neither can you if you have no hope.

Now I, Moroni, write somewhat as seemeth me good; and I write unto my brethren, the Lamanites; and I would that they should know that more than four hundred and twenty years have passed away since the sign was given of the coming of Christ.

Now I, Moroni, write a little more, as seems good to me, and I write to my brothers, the Lamanites. I want them to know that more than four hundred and twenty years have passed since the sign was given of Christ's coming.

And I seal up these records, after I have spoken a few words by way of exhortation unto you.

And I seal up these records after I have said a few words to urge you on.

Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down unto the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

I urge you: when you read these things, if it is wisdom in God that you should read them, remember how merciful the Lord has been to humankind, from the creation of Adam down to the time you receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And when you receive these things, I urge you to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true. And if you ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will make the truth of it known to you by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost, you may know the truth of all things.

And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

And whatever is good is just and true. So nothing that is good denies Christ, but acknowledges that he is.

And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.

And you may know that he is by the power of the Holy Ghost. So I urge you not to deny the power of God, for he works by power, according to the faith of humankind, the same today, tomorrow, and forever.

And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.

And again, I urge you, my brothers, not to deny the gifts of God, for they are many, and they come from the same God. And there are different ways these gifts are administered, but it is the same God who works all in all. And they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God to people, to benefit them.

For behold, to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of wisdom;

For to one it is given by the Spirit of God to teach the word of wisdom;

And to another, that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

To another, to teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

And to another, exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

To another, great faith; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

And again, to another, that he may work mighty miracles;

To another, to work mighty miracles;

And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning all things;

To another, to prophesy about all things;

And again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits;

To another, to see angels and ministering spirits;

And again, to another, all kinds of tongues;

To another, all kinds of tongues;

And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.

To another, the interpretation of languages and different kinds of tongues.

And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally, according as he will.

And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ, and they come to each person individually, according to his will.

And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ.

And I urge you, my beloved brothers, to remember that every good gift comes from Christ.

And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts of which I have spoken, which are spiritual, never will be done away, even as long as the world shall stand, only according to the unbelief of the children of men.

And I urge you, my beloved brothers, to remember that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that all these gifts I have spoken of, which are spiritual, will never be done away with as long as the world shall stand, except through the unbelief of people.

Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.

So there must be faith; and if there must be faith, there must also be hope; and if there must be hope, there must also be charity.

And except ye have charity ye can in nowise be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can ye be saved in the kingdom of God if ye have not faith; neither can ye if ye have no hope.

And unless you have charity, you can in no way be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can you be saved in the kingdom of God if you do not have faith; neither can you if you have no hope.

And if ye have no hope ye must needs be in despair; and despair cometh because of iniquity.

And if you have no hope, you must be in despair; and despair comes because of sin.

And Christ truly said unto our fathers: If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me.

And Christ truly said to our fathers: "If you have faith, you can do all things that are expedient to me."

And now I speak unto all the ends of the earth—that if the day cometh that the power and gifts of God shall be done away among you, it shall be because of unbelief.

And now I speak to all the ends of the earth: if the day comes that the power and gifts of God are done away with among you, it will be because of unbelief.

And wo be unto the children of men if this be the case; for there shall be none that doeth good among you, no not one. For if there be one among you that doeth good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.

And woe to humankind if this is the case, for there shall be none among you who does good, no, not one. For if there is one among you who does good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.

And wo unto them who shall do these things away and die, for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God; and I speak it according to the words of Christ; and I lie not.

And woe to those who do away with these things and die, for they die in their sins, and they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. And I say this according to the words of Christ; and I do not lie.

And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust?

And I urge you to remember these things, for the time comes quickly when you will know that I do not lie, for you will see me at the bar of God. And the Lord God will say to you: "Did I not declare my words to you, which were written by this man, like one crying from the dead, indeed, as one speaking out of the dust?"

I declare these things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold, they shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the everlasting God; and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.

I declare these things to fulfill the prophecies. And they shall go forth from the mouth of the everlasting God, and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.

And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true.

And God will show you that what I have written is true.

And again I would exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.

And again I urge you to come unto Christ, lay hold on every good gift, and do not touch the evil gift or the unclean thing.

And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

And awake and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; put on your beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen your stakes and enlarge your borders forever, that you may no more be put to shame, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he has made with you, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

Come unto Christ, be perfected in him, and deny yourselves all ungodliness. And if you deny yourselves all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind, and strength, then his grace is sufficient for you, so that by his grace you may be perfect in Christ. And if by the grace of God you are perfect in Christ, you can in no way deny the power of God.

And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.

And again, if by the grace of God you are perfect in Christ and do not deny his power, then you are sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father for the forgiveness of your sins, so that you become holy, without spot.

And now I bid unto all, farewell. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead. Amen.

And now I bid farewell to all. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body reunite again, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both the living and the dead. Amen.
