and have brought them to believe, by their traditions and their dreams

a being who never has been seen or known,

who never was nor ever will be.

that thou shalt not deceive this people any more.

yea, and he taught me that which I should say.

And I have taught his words;

and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;

even until I have brought this great curse upon me.

And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency

to lead the people to do that which was just —

I say unto you,

it is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues,

that ye may be humble, and that ye may learn wisdom;

whether they should believe in one God,

For it is expedient that an atonement should be made;

for according to the great plan of the Eternal God

except it be through the atonement which it is expedient should be made.

Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice,

and none shall have passed away.
