Mormon 8:12

And whoso receiveth this record, and shall not condemn it

because of the imperfections which are in it,

the same shall know of greater things than these.

Behold, I am Moroni;

and were it possible,

I would make all things known unto you.

Mormon 8:14

And I am the same who hideth up this record unto the Lord;

the plates thereof are of no worth,

because of the commandment of the Lord.

For he truly saith that no one shall have them to get gain;

but the record thereof is of great worth;

and whoso shall bring it to light,

him will the Lord bless.

Mormon 8:24

And he knoweth their prayers,

that they were in behalf of their brethren.

And he knoweth their faith,

for in his name could they remove mountains;

and in his name could they cause the earth to shake;

and by the power of his word did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth;

yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them,

neither wild beasts nor poisonous serpents,

because of the power of his word.

Mormon 8:27

And it shall come in a day

when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord,

because of secret combinations and the works of darkness.

Mormon 8:36

And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts;

and there are none save a few only

who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts,

unto the wearing of very fine apparel,

unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions,

and all manner of iniquities;

and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted

because of the pride of your hearts.

Mormon 8:38

O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites,

ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker,

why have ye polluted the holy church of God?

Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?

Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness

than that misery which never dies —

because of the praise of the world?

Mormon 9:12

Behold, he created Adam,

and by Adam came the fall of man.

And because of the fall of man came Jesus Christ,

even the Father and the Son;

and because of Jesus Christ came the redemption of man.

Mormon 9:13

And because of the redemption of man, which came by Jesus Christ,

they are brought back into the presence of the Lord;

yea, this is wherein all men are redeemed,

because the death of Christ bringeth to pass the resurrection,

which bringeth to pass a redemption from an endless sleep,

from which sleep all men shall be awakened by the power of God

when the trump shall sound;

and they shall come forth, both small and great,

and all shall stand before his bar,

being redeemed and loosed from this eternal band of death,

which death is a temporal death.

Mormon 9:31

Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,

neither my father, because of his imperfection,

neither them who have written before him;

but rather give thanks unto God

that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections,

that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.
