to be a high priest over the church of God,

he having power and authority from God to do these things,

among the names of the righteous,

that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith:

The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people;

that ye may not be destroyed.

in the language of him who hath commanded me,

that ye observe to do the words which I have spoken unto you.

Come and be baptized unto repentance,

that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life.
