3:5 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with
power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all
eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the
children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go
forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick,
raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their
sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
3:6 And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in
the hearts of the children of men.
3:7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger,
thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto
death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his
anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.
3:8 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of
heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his
mother shall be called Mary.
3:9 And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the
children of men even through faith on his name; and even after all this
they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall
scourge him, and shall crucify him.
3:10 And he shall rise the third day from the dead; and behold, he
standeth to judge the world; and behold, all these things are done that
a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men.
3:11 For behold, and also his blood atoneth for the sins of those who
have fallen by the transgression of Adam, who have died not knowing the
will of God concerning them, or who have ignorantly sinned.
3:12 But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he rebelleth against God! For
salvation cometh to none such except it be through repentance and faith
on the Lord Jesus Christ.
3:13 And the Lord God hath sent his holy prophets among all the
children of men, to declare these things to every kindred, nation, and
tongue, that thereby whosoever should believe that Christ should come,
the same might receive remission of their sins, and rejoice with
exceedingly great joy, even as though he had already come among them.
3:14 Yet the Lord God saw that his people were a stiffnecked people,
and he appointed unto them a law, even the law of Moses.
3:15 And many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows showed he unto
them, concerning his coming; and also holy prophets spake unto them
concerning his coming; and yet they hardened their hearts, and
understood not that the law of Moses availeth nothing except it were
through the atonement of his blood.
3:16 And even if it were possible that little children could sin they
could not be saved; but I say unto you they are blessed; for behold, as
in Adam, or by nature, they fall, even so the blood of Christ atoneth
for their sins.
