are taken home to that God who gave them life.

that this state of happiness

according to the words which have been spoken.

Now, whether the souls and the bodies of those of whom has been spoken

shall all be reunited at once,

for they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness;

or their works, which have been evil;

and they drink the dregs of a bitter cup.

For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately,

and partaken of the tree of life,

he would have lived forever, according to the word of God,

having no space for repentance;

yea, and also the word of God would have been void,

and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.
