14. And those who receive it in faith, and work righteousness,
shall receive a crown of eternal life;
15. But those who harden their hearts in unbelief, and reject it,
it shall turn to their own condemnation;
16. For the Lord God hath spoken it; and we, the Elders of the
Church, have heard and bear witness to the words of the glorious
Majesty on high, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
17. By these things we know that there is a God in heaven, who is
infinite and eternal, from everlasting to everlasting the same {66}
unchangeable God, the framer of heaven and earth, and all things
which are in them;
18. And that He created man, male, and female, after His own image
and in His own likeness, created He them,
19. And gave unto them commandments that they should love and serve
Him, the only living and true God, and that He should be the only
being whom they should worship.

holy prophets, who spake as they were inspired by the gift of the
Holy Ghost, who truly testified of Him in all things, should have
eternal life,
27. As well as those who should come after, who should believe
in the gifts and callings of God by the Holy Ghost which beareth
record of the Father and of the Son;
28. Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and
eternal, without end. Amen.
29. And we know that all men must repent and believe on the name
of Jesus Christ, and worship the Father in His name, and endure
in faith on His name to the end, or they cannot be saved in the
kingdom of God.
30. And we know that justification through the grace of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, is just and true;
31. And we know also, that sanctification through the grace of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is just and true, to all those who
