Moroni 10:1

Now I, Moroni, write somewhat as seemeth me good;

and I write unto my brethren, the Lamanites;

and I would that they should know

that more than four hundred and twenty years have passed away

since the sign was given of the coming of Christ.

Moroni 10:2

And I seal up these records,

after I have spoken a few words by way of exhortation unto you.

Moroni 10:3

Behold, I would exhort you

that when ye shall read these things,

if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them,

that ye would remember

how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men,

from the creation of Adam even down until the time

that ye shall receive these things,

and ponder it in your hearts.

Moroni 10:4

And when ye shall receive these things,

I would exhort you

that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father,

in the name of Christ,

if these things are not true;

and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart,

with real intent, having faith in Christ,

he will manifest the truth of it unto you,

by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Moroni 10:5

And by the power of the Holy Ghost

ye may know the truth of all things.

Moroni 10:6

And whatsoever thing is good is just and true;

wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ,

but acknowledgeth that he is.

Moroni 10:7

And ye may know that he is,

by the power of the Holy Ghost;

wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God;

for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men,

the same today and tomorrow, and forever.
