9:13 O how great the plan of our God! For on the other hand, the
paradise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous, and the
grave deliver up the body of the righteous; and the spirit and the body
is restored to itself again, and all men become incorruptible, and
immortal, and they are living souls, having a perfect knowledge like
unto us in the flesh, save it be that our knowledge shall be perfect.
9:14 Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our guilt, and
our uncleanness, and our nakedness; and the righteous shall have a
perfect knowledge of their enjoyment, and their righteousness, being
clothed with purity, yea, even with the robe of righteousness.
9:15 And it shall come to pass that when all men shall have passed from
this first death unto life, insomuch as they have become immortal, they
must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel; and
then cometh the judgment, and then must they be judged according to the
holy judgment of God.
9:16 And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken
it, and it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away, that they who
are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are filthy shall
be filthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are the devil and his
angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire; prepared for
them; and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame
ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.
9:17 O the greatness and the justice of our God! For he executeth all
his words, and they have gone forth out of his mouth, and his law must
be fulfilled.
9:18 But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel,
they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, they who have endured
the crosses of the world, and despised the shame of it, they shall
inherit the kingdom of God, which was prepared for them from the
foundation of the world, and their joy shall be full forever.
9:19 O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel!
For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster the devil, and
death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless
torment.
9:20 O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things,
and there is not anything save he knows it.
9:21 And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will
hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men,
yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children,
who belong to the family of Adam.
9:22 And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all
men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day.
9:23 And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized
in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they
cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
