2:36 And now, I say unto you, my brethren, that after ye have known and
have been taught all these things, if ye should transgress and go
contrary to that which has been spoken, that ye do withdraw yourselves
from the Spirit of the Lord, that it may have no place in you to guide
you in wisdom’s paths that ye may be blessed, prospered, and preserved—
2:37 I say unto you, that the man that doeth this, the same cometh out
in open rebellion against God; therefore he listeth to obey the evil
spirit, and becometh an enemy to all righteousness; therefore, the Lord
has no place in him, for he dwelleth not in unholy temples.
2:38 Therefore if that man repenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an
enemy to God, the demands of divine justice do awaken his immortal soul
to a lively sense of his own guilt, which doth cause him to shrink from
the presence of the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and
pain, and anguish, which is like an unquenchable fire, whose flame
ascendeth up forever and ever.
2:39 And now I say unto you, that mercy hath no claim on that man;
therefore his final doom is to endure a never-ending torment.
2:40 O, all ye old men, and also ye young men, and you little children
who can understand my words, for I have spoken plainly unto you that ye
might understand, I pray that ye should awake to a remembrance of the
awful situation of those that have fallen into transgression.
2:41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the
blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For
behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual;
and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven,
that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending
happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the
Lord God hath spoken it.
Mosiah Chapter 3
3:1 And again my brethren, I would call your attention, for I have
somewhat more to speak unto you; for behold, I have things to tell you
concerning that which is to come.
3:2 And the things which I shall tell you are made known unto me by an
angel from God. And he said unto me: Awake; and I awoke, and behold he
stood before me.
3:3 And he said unto me: Awake, and hear the words which I shall tell
thee; for behold, I am come to declare unto you the glad tidings of
great joy.
3:4 For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath judged of thy
righteousness, and hath sent me to declare unto thee that thou mayest
rejoice; and that thou mayest declare unto thy people, that they may
also be filled with joy.
