And now, my son, I command you

lest peradventure they should fall into darkness also and be destroyed.

even so it is with things which are spiritual.

Alma 37:47

And now, my son, see that ye take care of these sacred things,

yea, see that ye look to God and live.

Go unto this people and declare the word,

and be sober.

My son, farewell.
