3 Nephi 27:28

And now I go unto the Father.

And verily I say unto you,

whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name

shall be given unto you.

3 Nephi 27:29

Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive;

knock, and it shall be opened unto you;

for he that asketh, receiveth;

and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

3 Nephi 27:30

And now, behold, my joy is great, even unto fulness,

because of you, and also this generation;

yea, and even the Father rejoiceth, and also all the holy angels,

because of you and this generation;

for none of them are lost.

3 Nephi 27:31

Behold, I would that ye should understand;

for I mean them who are now alive of this generation;

and none of them are lost;

and in them I have fulness of joy.

3 Nephi 27:32

But behold, it sorroweth me

because of the fourth generation from this generation,

for they are led away captive by him

even as was the son of perdition;

for they will sell me for silver and for gold,

and for that which moth doth corrupt

and which thieves can break through and steal.

And in that day will I visit them,

even in turning their works upon their own heads.

3 Nephi 27:33

And it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings

he said unto his disciples:

Enter ye in at the strait gate;

for strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life,

and few there be that find it;

but wide is the gate, and broad the way which leads to death,

and many there be that travel therein,

until the night cometh, wherein no man can work.
