thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying:

After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father

that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water,

and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost,

and can speak with a new tongue,

yea, even with the tongue of angels,

and after this should deny me,

it would have been better for you that ye had not known me.

Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen

that your Lord and your Redeemer should do;

for, for this cause have they been shown unto me,

that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter.

For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water;

and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.

having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.

Wherefore, if ye shall press forward,

feasting upon the word of Christ,

and endure to the end,

behold, thus saith the Father:

Ye shall have eternal life.
