Moroni 8:4

And now, my son, I speak unto you

concerning that which grieveth me exceedingly;

for it grieveth me that there should disputations rise among you.

Moroni 8:5

for, if I have learned the truth,

there have been disputations among you

concerning the baptism of your little children.

Moroni 8:6

And now, my son, I desire that ye should labor diligently,

that this gross error should be removed from among you;

for, for this intent I have written this epistle.

Moroni 8:7

for immediately after I had learned these things of you

I inquired of the Lord concerning the matter.

And the word of the Lord came to me by the power of the Holy Ghost, saying:

Moroni 8:8

Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God.

Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance;

the whole need no physician, but they that are sick;

wherefore, little children are whole,

for they are not capable of committing sin;

wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me,

that it hath no power over them;

and the law of circumcision is done away in me.

Moroni 8:12

But little children are alive in Christ,

even from the foundation of the world;

if not so, God is a partial God,

and also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons;

for how many little children have died without baptism!

Moroni 8:14

Behold I say unto you,

that he that supposeth that little children need baptism

is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity;

for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity;

wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought,

he must go down to hell.

Moroni 8:15

for awful is the wickedness to suppose

that God saveth one child because of baptism,

and the other must perish because he hath no baptism.

Moroni 8:16

Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner,

for they shall perish except they repent.

Behold, I speak with boldness,

having authority from God;

and I fear not what man can do;

for perfect love casteth out all fear.

Moroni 8:18

for I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being;

but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity.

Moroni 8:19

Little children cannot repent;

wherefore, it is awful wickedness

to deny the pure mercies of God unto them,

for they are all alive in him because of his mercy.

Moroni 8:21

Wo unto such,

for they are in danger of death, hell, and an endless torment.

I speak it boldly;

God hath commanded me.

Listen unto them and give heed,

or they stand against you at the judgment-seat of Christ.

Moroni 8:22

for behold that all little children are alive in Christ,

and also all they that are without the law.

for the power of redemption cometh on all them that have no law;

wherefore, he that is not condemned,

or he that is under no condemnation, cannot repent;

and unto such baptism availeth nothing —

Moroni 8:24

Behold, my son, this thing ought not to be;

for repentance is unto them that are under condemnation

and under the curse of a broken law.

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.
