Mormon 8:10

And there are none that do know the true God

save it be the disciples of Jesus, who did tarry in the land

until the wickedness of the people was so great

that the Lord would not suffer them to remain with the people;

and whether they be upon the face of the land no man knoweth.

Mormon 8:15

save it be given him of God;

for God wills that it shall be done with an eye single to his glory,

or the welfare of the ancient and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord.

Mormon 8:16

And blessed be he that shall bring this thing to light;

for it shall be brought out of darkness unto light,

according to the word of God;

yea, it shall be brought out of the earth,

and it shall shine forth out of darkness,

and come unto the knowledge of the people;

and it shall be done by the power of God.

Mormon 8:17

And if there be faults

they be the faults of a man.

But behold, we know no fault;

therefore, he that condemneth,

let him be aware lest he shall be in danger of hell fire.

Mormon 8:28

Yea, it shall come in a day

when the power of God shall be denied,

and churches become defiled

and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts;

yea, even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers

shall rise in the pride of their hearts,

even to the envying of them who belong to their churches.

Mormon 8:33

O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people,

why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain?

Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God,

that ye might bring damnation upon your souls?

Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God;

for behold, the time cometh at that day

when all these things must be fulfilled.

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 9:2

Behold, will ye believe in the day of your visitation —

behold, when the Lord shall come,

yea, even that great day

when the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll,

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,

yea, in that great day when ye shall be brought

to stand before the Lamb of God —

then will ye say that there is no God?

Mormon 9:3

Then will ye longer deny the Christ,

or can ye behold the Lamb of God?

Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him

under a consciousness of your guilt?

Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being,

when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt

that ye have ever abused his laws?

Mormon 9:4

Behold, I say unto you

that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God,

under a consciousness of your filthiness before him,

than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.

and also the glory of God, and the holiness of Jesus Christ,

it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you.

And again I speak unto you who deny the revelations of God,

and say that they are done away,

that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing,

nor speaking with tongues, and the interpretation of tongues;

Mormon 9:9

For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever,

and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?

Mormon 9:10

And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a God

who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing,

then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a God

who is not a God of miracles.

Mormon 9:11

But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles,

even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and it is that same God

who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.

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 9:15

And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves

a God who can do no miracles,

I would ask of you,

have all these things passed, of which I have spoken?

Has the end come yet?

Behold I say unto you, Nay;

and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous works of God?

Mormon 9:19

And if there were miracles wrought

then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles

and yet be an unchangeable Being?

And behold, I say unto you

he changeth not;

if so he would cease to be God;

and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.

Mormon 9:20

And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men

is because that they dwindle in unbelief,

and depart from the right way,

and know not the God in whom they should trust.

For behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

unto his disciples who should tarry,

yea, and also to all his disciples,

in the hearing of the multitude:

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature;

Mormon 9:28

Be wise in the days of your probation;

strip yourselves of all uncleanness;

ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts,

but ask with a firmness unshaken,

that ye will yield to no temptation,

but that ye will serve the true and living God.

Mormon 9:29

See that ye are not baptized unworthily;

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

but see that ye do all things in worthiness,

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.

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.

Mormon 9:37

And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant

that their prayers may be answered according to their faith;

and may God the Father remember the covenant

which he hath made with the house of Israel;

and may he bless them forever,

through faith on the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
