37 For it was they that did destroy the peace of my people and the government of the land: therefore I did cause them to be burned, to destroy them from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up unto me any more against them.
38 And behold, the city of Laman, and the city of Josh, and the city of Gad, and the city of Kishkumen, have I caused to be burned with fire, and the inhabitants thereof, because of their wickedness in casting out the prophets, and stoning those whom I did send to declare unto them concerning their wickedness and their abominations;
39 And because they did cast them all out, that there were none righteous among them, I did send down fire and destroy them, that their wickedness and abominations might be hid from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints whom I sent among them, might not cry unto me from the ground against them;
40 And many great destructions have I caused to come upon this land, and upon this people, because of their wickedness and their abominations.
41 O all ye that are spared, because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?
42 Yea, verily I say unto you, If ye will come unto me, ye shall have eternal life.
43 Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me.
44 Behold I am Jesus Christ, the son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are.
45 I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.
46 I came unto my own, and my own received me not. And the scriptures, concerning my coming, are fulfilled.
47 And as many as have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the Law of Moses fulfilled.
