concerning us down to this day have been fulfilled,

and as many as go beyond this day must surely come to pass —

wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will.

for there are great things written upon them,

out of which my people and their brethren shall be judged at the great and last day,

according to the word of God which is written.
