Moroni 8:1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 24, 28

Moroni 8:1

An epistle of my father Mormon, written to me, Moroni;

and it was written unto me soon after my calling to the ministry.

And on this wise did he write unto me, saying:

Moroni 8:2

My beloved son, Moroni, I rejoice exceedingly

that your Lord Jesus Christ hath been mindful of you,

and hath called you to his ministry, and to his holy work.

Moroni 8:3

I am mindful of you always in my prayers,

continually praying unto God the Father in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus,

that he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you

through the endurance of faith on his name to the end.

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 8:11

And their little children need no repentance, neither baptism.

Behold, baptism is unto repentance

to the fulfilling the commandments unto the remission of sins.

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 8:13

Wherefore, if little children could not be saved without baptism,

these must have gone to an endless hell.

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 8:18

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 8:24

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.
