4. For in them are all things written concerning the foundation of my Church, my Gospel and my rock. 5. Wherefore, if you shall build up my Church, upon the foundation of my Gospel and my rock, the gates of hell shall not prevail against you. 6. Behold, the world is ripening in iniquity, and it must needs be that the children of men are stirred up unto repentance, both the Gentiles and also the house of Israel; 7. Wherefore, as thou hast been baptized by the hands of my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., according to that which I have commanded him, he hath fulfilled the thing which I commanded him. 8. And now marvel not that I have called him unto mine own purpose, which purpose is known in me; wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments, he shall be blessed unto eternal life, and his name is Joseph. 9. And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the way of commandment; for, behold, I command all men everywhere to repent, and I speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine Apostle, for you are called even with that same calling with which he was called. 10. Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; 11. For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore He suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto Him. 12. And He hath risen again from the dead, that He might bring all men unto Him, on conditions of repentance. 13. And how great is His joy in the soul that repenteth! 14. Wherefore, you are called to cry repentance unto this people; {63} 15. And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! 16. And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me! 17. Behold, you have my Gospel before you, and my rock, and my salvation. 18. Ask the Father in my name, in faith believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost, which manifesteth all things which are expedient unto the children of men. 19. And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing. 20. Contend against no church save it be the church of the devil. 21. Take upon you the name of Christ, and speak the truth in soberness; 22. And as many as repent, and are baptized in my name, which is Jesus Christ, and endure to the end, the same shall be saved. 23. Behold, Jesus Christ is the name which is given of the Father, and there is none other name given whereby man can be saved;
