withholding their clothing from the naked,

murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery,

rising up in great contentions,

and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,

who is Christ, the Son of God,

yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,

yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you,

it shall have no power over you

to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo,

because of the rock upon which ye are built,

which is a sure foundation,

a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
