6:8 Behold, will ye reject these words? Will ye reject the words of the
prophets; and will ye reject all the words which have been spoken
concerning Christ, after so many have spoken concerning him; and deny
the good word of Christ, and the power of God, and the gift of the Holy
Ghost, and quench the Holy Spirit, and make a mock of the great plan of
redemption, which hath been laid for you?
6:9 Know ye not that if ye will do these things, that the power of the
redemption and the resurrection, which is in Christ, will bring you to
stand with shame and awful guilt before the bar of God?
6:10 And according to the power of justice, for justice cannot be
denied, ye must go away into that lake of fire and brimstone, whose
flames are unquenchable, and whose smoke ascendeth up forever and ever,
which lake of fire and brimstone is endless torment.
6:11 O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the strait
gate, and continue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain
eternal life.
6:12 O be wise; what can I say more?
6:13 Finally, I bid you farewell, until I shall meet you before the
pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and
fear. Amen.
Jacob Chapter 7
7:1 And now it came to pass after some years had passed away, there
came a man among the people of Nephi, whose name was Sherem.
7:2 And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people, and
to declare unto them that there should be no Christ. And he preached
many things which were flattering unto the people; and this he did that
he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ.
7:3 And he labored diligently that he might lead away the hearts of the
people, insomuch that he did lead away many hearts; and he knowing that
I, Jacob, had faith in Christ who should come, he sought much
opportunity that he might come unto me.
7:4 And he was learned, that he had a perfect knowledge of the language
of the people; wherefore, he could use much flattery, and much power of
speech, according to the power of the devil.
7:5 And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the
many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these
things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me.
And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very
word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken.
7:6 And it came to pass that he came unto me, and on this wise did he
speak unto me, saying: Brother Jacob, I have sought much opportunity
that I might speak unto you; for I have heard and also know that thou
goest about much, preaching that which ye call the gospel, or the
doctrine of Christ.
