Mormon 8:3

And my father also was killed by them,

and I even remain alone

to write the sad tale of the destruction of my people.

But behold, they are gone,

and I fulfil the commandment of my father.

And whether they will slay me, I know not.

Mormon 8:4

Therefore I will write and hide up the records in the earth;

and whither I go it mattereth not.

Mormon 8:5

Behold, my father hath made this record,

and he hath written the intent thereof.

And behold, I would write it also

if I had room upon the plates,

but I have not;

and ore I have none,

for I am alone.

My father hath been slain in battle,

and all my kinsfolk,

and I have not friends nor whither to go;

and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.

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.

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 8:20

Behold what the scripture says —

man shall not smite, neither shall he judge;

for judgment is mine, saith the Lord,

and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.

Mormon 8:21

And he that shall breathe out wrath and strifes against the work of the Lord,

and against the covenant people of the Lord who are the house of Israel,

and shall say:

We will destroy the work of the Lord,

and the Lord will not remember his covenant

which he hath made unto the house of Israel —

the same is in danger to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

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 8:26

And no one need say

they shall not come,

for they surely shall,

for the Lord hath spoken it;

for out of the earth shall they come, by the hand of the Lord,

and none can stay it;

and it shall come in a day

when it shall be said that miracles are done away;

and it shall come even as if one should speak from the dead.

Mormon 8:31

Yea, it shall come in a day

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

there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms,

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.

Mormon 8:35

and yet ye are not.

and I know your doing.

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 8:39

Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life,

and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked,

and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?

Mormon 8:41

and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you,

for he will not suffer their cries any longer.

he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ;

yea, he has not read the scriptures;

if so, he does not understand them.

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

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 9:15

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.

Mormon 9:16

Behold, are not the things that God hath wrought marvelous in our eyes?

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

Mormon 9:17

Who shall say that it was not a miracle

that by his word the heaven and the earth should be;

and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth;

and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?

Mormon 9:18

And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not do many mighty miracles?

And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles.

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.

in my name shall they cast out devils;

they shall speak with new tongues;

they shall take up serpents;

and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them;

they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover;

Mormon 9:27

O then despise not, and wonder not,

but hearken unto the words of the Lord,

and ask the Father in the name of Jesus

for what things soever ye shall stand in need.

Doubt not, but be believing,

and begin as in times of old,

and come unto the Lord with all your heart,

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

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.
