behold, I write this epistle unto you,

and do give unto you exceedingly great praise

because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people,

yea, ye do stand well, as if ye were supported by the hand of a god,

in the defence of your liberty, and your property, and your country,

or that which ye do call so.

that ye should be so foolish and vain as to suppose

Go down upon the Nephites and destroy them.

and having reserved for themselves provisions,

and thus the eighteenth year did pass away.

I have reason to bless my God and my Savior Jesus Christ,

so much knowledge unto the salvation of our souls.

that he hath covenanted with them.

unto their own lands, from whence they have been dispersed;

Amen.
