Jacob 4:1,

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 5:18

And he said unto the servant:

Behold, the branches of the wild tree

have taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof,

that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;

and because of the much strength of the root thereof

the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit.

Now, if we had not grafted in these branches,

the tree thereof would have perished.

And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit,

which the tree thereof hath brought forth;

and the fruit thereof I shall lay up against the season, unto mine own self.

Jacob 5:59

And this I do that, perhaps, the roots thereof may take strength

because of their goodness; and because of the change of the branches,

that the good may overcome the evil.

Jacob 5:75

And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw

that his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt,

he called up his servants, and said unto them:

Behold, for this last time have we nourished my vineyard;

and thou beholdest that I have done according to my will;

and I have preserved the natural fruit,

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

And blessed art thou;

for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard,

and have kept my commandments,

and have brought unto me again the natural fruit,

that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away,

behold ye shall have joy with me because of the fruit of my vineyard.
