20 Even if it so be, by the power of his holy arm, that it might be brought forth, at some future day, unto the Lamanites, that perhaps they might be brought unto salvation:
21 For at the present, our strugglings were vain, in restoring them to the true faith.
22 And they swore in their wrath, that if it were possible, they would destroy our records and us; and, also, all the traditions of our fathers.
23 Wherefore, I knowing that the Lord God was able to preserve our records, I cried unto him continually;
24 For he had said unto me, Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith, believing that ye shall receive in the name of Christ, ye shall receive it.
25 And I had faith, and I did cry unto God, that he would preserve the records;
26 And he covenanted with me that he would bring them forth unto the Lamanites, in his own due time.
27 And I, Enos, knew it would be according to the covenant which he had made; wherefore, my soul did rest.
28 And the Lord said unto me, Thy fathers have also required of me this thing; and it shall be done unto them according to their faith, for their faith was like unto thine.
29 And now it came to pass, that I, Enos, went about among the people of Nephi, prophesying of things to come, and testifying of the things which I had heard and seen.
30 And I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God.
