he also being a descendant of Nephi.

if this be the desire of your hearts,

that ye have entered into a covenant with him,

until you are dead as to the mortal body;

and may the Spirit of the Lord be poured out upon you;

and may he grant unto you eternal life, through the redemption of Christ,

whom he has prepared from the foundation of the world.
