5:49 And now I say unto you that this is the order after which I am
called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one
that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young,
both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle
aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must
repent and be born again.
5:50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for
the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in
his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved
brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of
the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon
shine forth among all the children of men.
5:51 And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a
mighty voice, saying: Go forth and say unto this people—Repent, for
except ye repent ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of heaven.
5:52 And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the ax is laid
at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth
good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which
cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember,

these sayings; yea, can ye lay aside these things, and trample the Holy
One under your feet; yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your
hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and
setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your
riches?
5:54 Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than
another; yea, will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who
humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith
they have been brought into this church, having been sanctified by the
Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth works which are meet for
repentance—
5:55 Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the poor, and
the needy, and in withholding your substance from them?
5:56 And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say
unto you that these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the
fire except they speedily repent.
5:57 And now I say unto you, all you that are desirous to follow the
voice of the good shepherd, come ye out from the wicked, and be ye
separate, and touch not their unclean things; and behold, their names
shall be blotted out, that the names of the wicked shall not be
numbered among the names of the righteous, that the word of God may be
fulfilled, which saith: The names of the wicked shall not be mingled
with the names of my people;
