contextual study / concordance



Moroni 8:27

Behold, my son, I will write unto you again

if I go not out soon against the Lamanites.

Behold, the pride of this nation, or the people of the Nephites,

hath proven their destruction except they should repent.


Moroni 8:28

Pray for them, my son, that repentance may come unto them.

But behold, I fear lest the Spirit hath ceased striving with them;

and in this part of the land they are also seeking

to put down all power and authority which cometh from God;

and they are denying the Holy Ghost.


Moroni 8:29

And after rejecting so great a knowledge, my son, they must perish soon,

unto the fulfilling of the prophecies which were spoken by the prophets,

as well as the words of our Savior himself.


Moroni 8:30

Farewell, my son, until I shall write unto you,

or shall meet you again.

Amen.
