Enos 1:4

And my soul hungered;

and I kneeled down before my Maker,

and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul;

and all the day long did I cry unto him;

yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high

that it reached the heavens.

Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.

Because of thy faith in Christ,

whom thou hast never before heard nor seen.

And many years pass away

before he shall manifest himself in the flesh;

wherefore, go to,

thy faith hath made thee whole.

Now, it came to pass that when I had heard these words

I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren, the Nephites;

wherefore, I did pour out my whole soul unto God for them.

Enos 1:10

And while I was thus struggling in the spirit,

behold, the voice of the Lord came into my mind again, saying:

I will visit thy brethren

according to their diligence in keeping my commandments.

I have given unto them this land,

and it is a holy land;

and I curse it not save it be for the cause of iniquity;

wherefore, I will visit thy brethren according as I have said;

and their transgressions will I bring down with sorrow upon their own heads.

for my brethren, the Lamanites.

after I had prayed and labored with all diligence,

the Lord said unto me:

I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith.

And now behold, this was the desire which I desired of him —

that if it should so be, that my people, the Nephites, should fall into transgression,

and by any means be destroyed, and the Lamanites should not be destroyed,

that the Lord God would preserve a record of my people, the Nephites;

even if it so be by the power of his holy arm,

that it might be brought forth at some future day unto the Lamanites,

that, perhaps, they might be brought unto salvation —

Enos 1:15

Wherefore, I knowing

that the Lord God was able to preserve our records,

I cried unto him continually,

for he had said unto me:

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith,

believing that ye shall receive

in the name of Christ,

ye shall receive it.

Enos 1:16

And I had faith, and I did cry unto God

that he would preserve the records;

and he covenanted with me

that he would bring them forth unto the Lamanites in his own due time.

Thy fathers have also required of me this thing;

and it shall be done unto them according to their faith;

for their faith was like unto thine.

Enos 1:20

And I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently

to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God.

But our labors were vain;

their hatred was fixed,

and they were led by their evil nature

that they became wild, and ferocious,

and a blood-thirsty people, full of idolatry and filthiness;

feeding upon beasts of prey;

dwelling in tents, and wandering about in the wilderness

with a short skin girdle about their loins and their heads shaven;

and their skill was in the bow, and in the cimeter, and the ax.

And many of them did eat nothing save it was raw meat;

and they were continually seeking to destroy us.

Enos 1:26

And I saw that I must soon go down to my grave,

having been wrought upon by the power of God

that I must preach and prophesy unto this people,

and declare the word according to the truth which is in Christ.

And I have declared it in all my days,

and have rejoiced in it above that of the world.

Enos 1:27

And I soon go to the place of my rest,

which is with my Redeemer;

for I know that in him I shall rest.

And I rejoice in the day

when my mortal shall put on immortality,

and shall stand before him;

then shall I see his face with pleasure,

and he will say unto me:

Come unto me, ye blessed,

there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father.

Amen.
