Alma 38:1

my son, give ear to my words,

ye shall prosper in the land;

and inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God

ye shall be cut off from his presence.

Alma 38:2

And now, my son, I trust that I shall have great joy in you,

for blessed is he that endureth to the end.

And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember,

that as much as ye shall put your trust in God

even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials,

and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 38:6

Now, my son, I would not that ye should think

that I know these things of myself,

but it is the Spirit of God which is in me

which maketh these things known unto me;

for if I had not been born of God

I should not have known these things.

Alma 38:9

And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom,

that ye may learn of me

that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved,

only in and through Christ.

Behold, he is the life and the light of the world.

Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.

And may the Lord bless your soul,

and receive you at the last day into his kingdom, to sit down in peace.

Now go, my son, and teach the word unto this people.

Be sober.

my son, farewell.
