And many more such things did he say unto them,

telling them that there could be no atonement made for the sins of men,

and that every man conquered according to his strength;

and whatsoever a man did was no crime.

that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son.

And even all this can ye do if ye will.

Amen.

as ye have had so many witnesses,

therefore, I beseech of you

that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end;

behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,

then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.

that I will repent,

that I will return to my God.

for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies

at the time that ye go out of this life,

that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
