Jacob 1:7, 8

Jacob 1:7

Wherefore we labored diligently among our people,

that we might persuade them to come unto Christ,

and partake of the goodness of God,

that they might enter into his rest,

lest by any means he should swear in his wrath they should not enter in,

as in the provocation in the days of temptation

while the children of Israel were in the wilderness.

Jacob 1:8

Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men

not to rebel against God, to provoke him to anger,

but that all men would believe in Christ,

and view his death, and suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world;

wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfil the commandment of my brother Nephi.
