3 Nephi 18:17

And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words unto his Disciples,

he turned again unto the multitude and said unto them:

3 Nephi 18:18

Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you,

ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation;

for Satan desireth to have you,

that he may sift you as wheat.

3 Nephi 18:19

Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;

3 Nephi 18:20

And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right,

believing that ye shall receive,

behold it shall be given unto you.

3 Nephi 18:21

Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name,

that your wives and your children may be blessed.

3 Nephi 18:22

And behold, ye shall meet together oft;

and ye shall not forbid any man from coming unto you

when ye shall meet together,

but suffer them that they may come unto you and forbid them not;

3 Nephi 18:23

But ye shall pray for them, and shall not cast them out;

and if it so be that they come unto you oft

ye shall pray for them unto the Father, in my name.

3 Nephi 18:24

Therefore, hold up your light

that it may shine unto the world.

Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up —

that which ye have seen me do.

Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father,

and ye all have witnessed.

3 Nephi 18:25

And ye see that I have commanded that none of you should go away,

but rather have commanded that ye should come unto me,

that ye might feel and see;

even so shall ye do unto the world;

and whosoever breaketh this commandment

suffereth himself to be led into temptation.
