Book of Mormon
Covenant of Christ
Paragraph 1
1
5 And now I, Moroni, have written the words which were commanded me, according to my memory, and I have told you the things which I have sealed up. Therefore, touch them not in order that ye may translate, for that thing is forbidden you, except by and by it shall be wisdom in God. 2 And behold, ye may be privileged that ye may shew the plates unto those who shall assist to bring forth this work. 3 And unto three shall they be shewn by the power of God; wherefore, they shall know of a surety that these things are true. 4 And in the mouth of three witnesses shall these things be established, and the testimony of three, and this work — in the which shall be shewn forth the power of God, and also his word, of which the Father and the Son and the holy ghost beareth record — and all this shall stand as a testimony against the world at the last day. 5 And if it so be that they repent and come unto the Father in the name of Jesus, they shall be received into the kingdom of God. 6 And now, if I have no authority for these things, judge ye, for ye shall know that I have authority when ye shall see me and we shall stand before God at the last day. Amen.
Paragraph 1
1
5 I Moroni have written the commandments given to me, based on my memory. And I’ve told you about the things I sealed up under the Lord’s care. So don’t translate them, since you’re forbidden to do so unless God in His wisdom decides otherwise. 2 And then you’ll have the opportunity and direction to show the plates to those who help bring this book to light. 3 The plates will be shown to three witnesses by God’s power; as a result, they’ll know for sure these things are true. 4 The word of three witnesses will confirm these things. The testimony of three, and this book — in which God’s power will be displayed and His word revealed, which the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost testify of — all this will stand as a testimony against the world on the last day. 5 If they repent and come to the Father in Jesus’ name, they will be received into God’s kingdom. 6 Now if I don’t have any authority to say these things, decide for yourself; you’ll know I have authority when you see me and we stand before God on the last day. Amen.
