Moroni 7:2

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

and it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,

and his holy will, because of the gift of his calling unto me,

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

Moroni 7:5

For I remember the word of God which saith

by their works ye shall know them;

for if their works be good,

then they are good also.

Moroni 7:6

For behold, God hath said

a man being evil cannot do that which is good;

for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God,

except he shall do it with real intent

it profiteth him nothing.

Moroni 7:8

For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift,

he doeth it grudgingly;

wherefore it is counted unto him the same

as if he had retained the gift;

wherefore he is counted evil before God.

Moroni 7:9

And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man,

if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart;

yea, and it profiteth him nothing,

for God receiveth none such.

Moroni 7:12

Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God;

and that which is evil cometh of the devil;

for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually,

and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.

Moroni 7:13

But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually;

wherefore, every thing

which inviteth and enticeth to do good,

and to love God, and to serve him,

is inspired of God.

Moroni 7:14

Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren,

that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God,

or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.

Moroni 7:16

For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man,

that he may know good from evil;

wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge;

for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ,

is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ;

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

Moroni 7:17

But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil,

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

then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil;

for after this manner doth the devil work,

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

neither do his angels;

neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

Moroni 7:22

For behold, God knowing all things,

being from everlasting to everlasting,

behold, he sent angels to minister unto the children of men,

to make manifest concerning the coming of Christ;

and in Christ there should come every good thing.

Moroni 7:23

And God also declared unto prophets, by his own mouth,

that Christ should come.

Moroni 7:25

Wherefore, by the ministering of angels,

and by every word which proceeded forth out of the mouth of God,

men began to exercise faith in Christ;

and thus by faith, they did lay hold upon every good thing;

and thus it was until the coming of Christ.

Moroni 7:26

And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name;

and by faith, they become the sons of God.

And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying:

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good,

in faith believing that ye shall receive,

behold, it shall be done unto you.

Moroni 7:27

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased

because Christ hath ascended into heaven,

and hath sat down on the right hand of God,

to claim of the Father his rights of mercy

which he hath upon the children of men?

Moroni 7:32

And by so doing, the Lord God prepareth the way

that the residue of men may have faith in Christ,

that the Holy Ghost may have place in their hearts,

according to the power thereof;

and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants

which he hath made unto the children of men.

Moroni 7:35

And now, my beloved brethren,

if this be the case that these things are true

which I have spoken unto you,

and God will show unto you,

with power and great glory at the last day,

that they are true,

and if they are true

has the day of miracles ceased?

Moroni 7:44

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,

and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost

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.

Moroni 7:48

Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

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.
