And it is those who have sought to take away the judgment-seat from me

that have been the cause of this great iniquity;

that they have not come unto you.

Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil,

and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words,

that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church,

and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.

for I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do,
