Mormon 8:5

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.

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.

him will the Lord bless.

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

behold, when the Lord shall come,

yea, even that great day

to stand before the Lamb of God —

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.

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.

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.

Amen.
