Jacob 4:1

Now behold, it came to pass that

I, Jacob, having ministered much unto my people in word,

(and I cannot write but a little of my words,

because of the difficulty of engraving our words upon plates)

and we know that the things which we write upon plates must remain;

Jacob 4:3

Now in this thing we do rejoice;

and we labor diligently to engraven these words upon plates,

hoping that our beloved brethren and our children

will receive them with thankful hearts,

and look upon them that they may learn with joy

and not with sorrow, neither with contempt,

concerning their first parents.

even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient

unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac,

which is a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son.

man came upon the face of the earth,

O then, why not able to command the earth,

or the workmanship of his hands upon the face of it,

according to his will and pleasure?

Wherefore, beloved brethren, be reconciled unto him

through the atonement of Christ, his Only Begotten Son,

having faith, and obtained a good hope of glory in him

before he manifesteth himself in the flesh.

Jacob 4:12

And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things;

for why not speak of the atonement of Christ,

and attain to a perfect knowledge of him,

as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come?

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth,

let him prophesy to the understanding of men;

wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly,

for the salvation of our souls.

for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

and I have preserved the natural fruit,

that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning.

And blessed art thou;

according to that which I have spoken.

And then cometh the season and the end;

and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.
