him will the Lord bless.

when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth;

and all manner of abominations;

when there shall be many who will say,

Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not,

for the Lord will uphold such at the last day.

but wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness

and in the bonds of iniquity.

but hearken unto the words of the Lord,

and ask the Father in the name of Jesus

and come unto the Lord with all your heart,

and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.

Be wise in the days of your probation;

that ye will yield to no temptation,

but that ye will serve the true and living God.

See that ye are not baptized unworthily;

see that ye partake not of the sacrament of Christ unworthily;

and do it in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God;

and if ye do this, and endure to the end,

ye will in nowise be cast out.

therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.
