Behold my beloved brethren,

seeing that I have been permitted to come unto you,

therefore I attempt to address you in my language;

having had much business that I could not come unto you.

as were your brethren;

upon riches and the vain things of the world;

yea, I trust that you do not worship idols,

but that ye do worship the true and the living God,

and that ye look forward for the remission of your sins,

with an everlasting faith,

which is to come.

and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments,

and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.

And whosoever doeth this,

and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth,

the same will remember that I say unto him,

according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.

Behold, I say unto you,

yea, I know that ye believe them;

is by the manifestation of the Spirit which is in me.

yea, concerning the things which I have spoken,

great is my joy.

neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean

be received into the kingdom of God;

the time shall come,

that he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness.
