Moroni 7:2

And now I, Mormon, speak unto you, my beloved brethren;

that I am permitted to speak unto you at this time.

Moroni 7:3

Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church,

that are the peaceable followers of Christ,

by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord,

from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.

that he may know good from evil;

wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

Moroni 7:17

and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God,

for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one;

neither do his angels;

neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father,

by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord,

that they may bear testimony of him.

Moroni 7:32

according to the power thereof;

If ye will have faith in me

ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.

for they are as though there had been no redemption made.

Moroni 7:39

for I judge that ye have faith in Christ because of your meekness;

for if ye have not faith in him

then ye are not fit to be numbered among the people of his church.

Moroni 7:41

And what is it that ye shall hope for?

Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope

through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection,

to be raised unto life eternal,

and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.

If so, his faith and hope is vain,

for none is acceptable before God,

save the meek and lowly in heart;

and if a man be meek and lowly in heart,

that Jesus is the Christ,

he must needs have charity;

for if he have not charity he is nothing;

wherefore he must needs have charity.

and it endureth forever;

and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day,

it shall be well with him.

pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart,

that ye may be filled with this love,

which he hath bestowed upon all

who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ;

that ye may become the sons of God;

that when he shall appear we shall be like him,

for we shall see him as he is;

that we may have this hope;

that we may be purified even as he is pure.

Amen.
