[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
1. Now I, Moroni, conclude this first portion of the record of Mohonri Moriancumer.
2. And I would speak a few words to the gentiles who shall one day receive this record through the mercy of God.
3. Know ye not, O ye gentiles, that the merciful Lord hath been exceedingly gracious unto thee inasmuch as he hath delivered unto thee that portion of his gospel which it did please him to bless thee with.
4. Yea, for I know that the promises of the Lord are sure and steadfast, and according to the word of the angel, I know that a Joseph will deliver unto thee a portion of the Lord's gospel, even a preparatory gospel.
5. And he shall convince many of the error of their ways, inasmuch as he will raise up this Joseph to deliver unto thee the first portion of this record, even that which concerns the gentiles.
6. And there lies a fullness of the preparatory gospel and the gospel after the manner of the gentiles.
7. And it has been made known unto me that this Joseph, according to the will of the Lord and faithfulness of his associates, shall seek to conform ye gentiles, even insomuch as ye might be adopted in unto the house of Israel.
8. Being grafted in unto the olive tree wherein runs the oil of anointing, which is Christ.
9. And a form of these five mysteries which have been received by the family of the brother of Jared, yea, even these five after a gentile manner will the Lord God suffer to be established among you.
10. And all this, that they that seek may find, and that ye all might know that greater things await the faithful.
11. For therein, according as the spirit whispers, I know that these rites entrusted unto you O church of the gentiles, shall contain many great and precious promises.
12. These rites shall point the minds of the faithful beyond that which is entrusted unto them, even so much that they shall long for greater things.
13. And if the faithful retain their integrity, and are not stifled in their spirituality by the leaders of the gentile church; then surely the Lord God of Israel shall lead them unto greater and more pure mysteries.
14. For there shall be some seed of the house of Israel hidden in the church of the gentiles, which the Lord shall suffer his servant to establish.
15. Yea, and this elect seed shall be as leaven in the lump, to raise up the minds of their gentile mothers, and elevate the thought of all they that would become pure.
16. But if the day comes, that these elect ones be cast forth from among them, and if it come to be that the gentiles desire to sift out from amongst them all the elect seed because of their peculiar ways, then woe be unto the church.
17. And it shall come to pass after all that first generation are dead.
18. And in that day, that they seek to purge out the elect seed from amongst them, then shall the Lord do a great and mighty work.
19. Even to the convincing of them of their error, or else to the sealing up of their souls into everlasting rebellion against the more pure work of God.
20. For the fullness of the gentiles shall come in and shall continue, but when the hour cometh that she, the gentile church, shall purge out Israel from amongst her, and persecute them, then shall the times of the gentiles be complete.
21. And a great and marvelous work shall God perform.
22. For the God of Israel shall gather Israel, and the elect shall be gathered out, and lo, the field of the gentiles shall be sold unto others, and they that come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and great desolation followeth.
2. 3. Nevertheless the elect shall be spared, if they will hearken unto the voice of the Lord and his servants, and if they will gather out and build up unto God holy places wherein the destroyer cannot come.
24. For he shall sweep through the land, and his sword shall be bathed in heaven, and great shall be the death and the stench of those days.
25. Therefore repent O ye gentiles, and be ye not exalted in thy arrogance.
26. Inasmuch as ye think that thy salvation is secure, and that of the righteous has waxed old as a garment ready to pass away.
27. For the Lord loveth all flesh, and is no respecter of persons.
28. And those that draw near unto God, shall by God be drawn near unto all that is godly, holy, and pure.
29. Such is not the heritage of the gentiles, even in their fullness, wherefore, know ye that the hour comes when Israel shall arise and increase, and they that are of the preparatory gentile church shall decrease.
30. Even in a day shall their glory be brought down, that all may know that the Lord, he is God. 6 Moroni 2
1. And now I, Moroni, would speak unto the elect of Israel, even they of the latter day to whom this work shall come, for it is unto thee that these things are prepared.
2. That ye might be made aware of what great things the Lord thy God hath in store for thee, and that ye might be made partakers of the same through separating thyself from all that is less than perfect, and cleaving whole heartedly unto the light that shall break forth among you.
3. For the promise of God shall come to fruition, and the vision of the prophets shall be established.
4. Israel shall arise and gather, erecting holy houses unto the Lord their God.
5. But before that day there shall be a sifting, and not all Israel shall be of Israel, for not all Israel left Egypt with Moses, even so shall some tarry among the gentiles, and they shall share their fate.
6. But unto you who have your spiritual discernment magnified through use and love, unto ye I speak saying:
7. Be wise, be holy, be pure, put away all uncleanliness from thee.
8. Thou art called to be a nation of kings and priests, queens and priestesses.
9. Go ye not near the corpse of thy gentile mother, for she has but a guardian unto thee till the day of thy inheritance.
10. Flee from all that is untrue, and let they that are warned, warn their neighbor.
11. And see that ye warn thy brethren in the midst of the gentiles, and the gentiles also, for as many as shall come may come, and be adopted in saith the Lord.
12. Neither rebuke with railing accusation, but in all meekness and wisdom teach thy brethren, as little children, of what great things await the faithful.
13. Even all that break from the traditions of their fathers, and from that gentile church which I did raise up unto my people Israel, to be a guardian and a school master till the day of my power cometh in, saith the Lord .
14. New wine belongeth in the fresh wine skin, weave ye such through the righteous endeavors of all your souls.
15. I am alpha and omega, the first and the last, saith the Lord.
16. I established my perfect pattern in the beginning at the first, and such shall once more reign on earth at the end, at the last day.
17. For I finish what I begin and my work is one eternal round.
18. And even as man did fall in Eden, so in the end days shall I raise him up.
19. And the garden of God shall flourish again that men may once more enjoy it's precious fruit.
20. And for the faithful I have reserved the tree of life, and through the love of the messiah they shall partake of it's goodness forever and ever. Amen.
