7:1 And now, behold, I would speak somewhat unto the remnant of this
people who are spared, if it so be that God may give unto them my
words, that they may know of the things of their fathers; yea, I speak
unto you, ye remnant of the house of Israel; and these are the words
which I speak:
7:2 Know ye that ye are of the house of Israel.
7:3 Know ye that ye must come unto repentance, or ye cannot be saved.
7:4 Know ye that ye must lay down your weapons of war, and delight no
more in the shedding of blood, and take them not again, save it be that
God shall command you.
7:5 Know ye that ye must come to the knowledge of your fathers, and
repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ,
that he is the Son of God, and that he was slain by the Jews, and by
the power of the Father he hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the
victory over the grave; and also in him is the sting of death swallowed
up.
7:6 And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, whereby man
must be raised to stand before his judgment-seat.
7:7 And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world, whereby he
that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given
unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing
ceaseless praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the
Son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of
happiness which hath no end.
7:8 Therefore repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus, and lay
hold upon the gospel of Christ, which shall be set before you, not only
in this record but also in the record which shall come unto the
Gentiles from the Jews, which record shall come from the Gentiles unto
you.
7:9 For behold, this is written for the intent that ye may believe
that; and if ye believe that ye will believe this also; and if ye
believe this ye will know concerning your fathers, and also the
marvelous works which were wrought by the power of God among them.
7:10 And ye will also know that ye are a remnant of the seed of Jacob;
therefore ye are numbered among the people of the first covenant; and
if it so be that ye believe in Christ, and are baptized, first with
water, then with fire and with the Holy Ghost, following the example of
our Savior, according to that which he hath commanded us, it shall be
well with you in the day of judgment. Amen.
