Eat, drink, and be merry,

for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.

Eat, drink, and be merry;

nevertheless, fear God —

yea, lie a little,

take the advantage of one because of his words,

dig a pit for thy neighbor;

there is no harm in this;

and do all these things, for tomorrow we die;

and if it so be that we are guilty,

God will beat us with a few stripes,

and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

because they are taught by the precepts of men.

O the wise, and the learned, and the rich,

that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts,

for they shall be thrust down to hell!

Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil,

even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever;

neither shall it be until the end of man,

every man according to their works,

according to that which is written.

my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home

unto the lands of their possessions;

and against my people, who are of the house of Israel,

that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham

that I would remember his seed forever.

ye shall all likewise perish;

and because of the words which have been spoken

ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.

that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord;

and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.

and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed.
