Jacob 4:2

But whatsoever things we write upon anything save it be upon plates

must perish and vanish away;

but we can write a few words upon plates,

which will give our children, and also our beloved brethren,

a small degree of knowledge concerning us, or concerning their fathers —

Jacob 4:5

Behold, they believed in Christ and worshiped the Father in his name,

and also we worship the Father in his name.

And for this intent we keep the law of Moses,

it pointing our souls to him;

and for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness,

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.

Jacob 4:8

Behold, great and marvelous are the works of the Lord.

How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of him;

and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways.

And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him;

wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God.

Jacob 4:11

Wherefore, beloved brethren, be reconciled unto him

through the atonement of Christ, his Only Begotten Son,

and ye may obtain a resurrection,

according to the power of the resurrection which is in Christ,

and be presented as the first-fruits of Christ unto God,

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

before he manifesteth himself in the flesh.

Jacob 4:13

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth,

let him prophesy to the understanding of men;

for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not.

Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are,

and of things as they really will be;

wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly,

for the salvation of our souls.

But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things;

for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

Jacob 5:7

and he said unto his servant:

and bring them hither unto me;

and we will pluck off those main branches

which are beginning to wither away,

and we will cast them into the fire that they may be burned.

And behold, saith the Lord of the vineyard,

I take away many of these young and tender branches,

and I will graft them whithersoever I will;

and it mattereth not that if it so be that the root of this tree will perish,

I may preserve the fruit thereof unto myself;

wherefore, I will take these young and tender branches,

and I will graft them whithersoever I will.

Jacob 5:11

And the Lord of the vineyard caused

that it should be digged about, and pruned, and nourished,

saying unto his servant:

that they perish not, that I might preserve them unto myself,

I have done this thing.

and it will soon become ripened,

that it may be cast into the fire,

except we should do something for it to preserve it.

save it were these, had become corrupted.

save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.

Jacob 5:46

And now, behold, notwithstanding all the care

which we have taken of my vineyard,

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

and these I had hoped to preserve,

to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.

and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it;

and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long,

and the end draweth nigh.

and cast them into the fire that they should be burned.

which I planted whithersoever I would are yet alive;

wherefore, that I may preserve them also for mine own purpose,

Yea, I will graft in unto them the branches of their mother tree,

that I may preserve the roots also unto mine own self,

that when they shall be sufficiently strong

perhaps they may bring forth good fruit unto me,

and I may yet have glory in the fruit of my vineyard.

that all may be nourished once again for the last time.

and dung them once more, for the last time,

for the end draweth nigh.

then shall ye prepare the way for them, that they may grow.

ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit,

according to the strength of the good and the size thereof;

and ye shall not clear away the bad thereof all at once,

lest the roots thereof should be too strong for the graft,

and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of my vineyard.

Jacob 5:66

For it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard;

wherefore ye shall clear away the bad according as the good shall grow,

that the root and the top may be equal in strength,

until the good shall overcome the bad,

and the bad be hewn down and cast into the fire,

that they cumber not the ground of my vineyard;

and thus will I sweep away the bad out of my vineyard.

according to the strength thereof.

And then cometh the season and the end;

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