15:8 And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the
victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the
children of men—
15:9 Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being
filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt
them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself
their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and
satisfied the demands of justice.
15:10 And now I say unto you, who shall declare his generation? Behold,
I say unto you, that when his soul has been made an offering for sin he
shall see his seed. And now what say ye? And who shall be his seed?
15:11 Behold I say unto you, that whosoever has heard the words of the
prophets, yea, all the holy prophets who have prophesied concerning the
coming of the Lord—I say unto you, that all those who have hearkened
unto their words, and believed that the Lord would redeem his people,
and have looked forward to that day for a remission of their sins, I
say unto you, that these are his seed, or they are heirs of the kingdom
of God.
15:12 For these are they whose sins he has borne; these are they for
whom he has died, to redeem them from their transgressions. And now,
are they not his seed?
15:13 Yea, and are not the prophets, every one that has opened his
mouth to prophesy, that has not fallen into transgression, I mean all
the holy prophets ever since the world began? I say unto you that they
are his seed.
15:14 And these are they who have published peace, who have brought
good tidings of good, who have published salvation; and said unto Zion:
Thy God reigneth!
15:15 And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet!
15:16 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those
that are still publishing peace!
15:17 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those
who shall hereafter publish peace, yea, from this time henceforth and
forever!
15:18 And behold, I say unto you, this is not all. For O how beautiful
upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
is the founder of peace, yea, even the Lord, who has redeemed his
people; yea, him who has granted salvation unto his people;
15:19 For were it not for the redemption which he hath made for his
people, which was prepared from the foundation of the world, I say unto
you, were it not for this, all mankind must have perished.
15:20 But behold, the bands of death shall be broken, and the Son
reigneth, and hath power over the dead; therefore, he bringeth to pass
the resurrection of the dead.
15:21 And there cometh a resurrection, even a first resurrection; yea,
even a resurrection of those that have been, and who are, and who shall
be, even until the resurrection of Christ—for so shall he be called.
