11 I trust that ye are not lifted up in the pride of your hearts; yea, I trust that ye have not set your hearts upon riches, and the vain things of the world;
12 Yea, I trust that you do not worship idols, but that ye do worship the true and the living God, and that ye look forward for the remission of your sins with an everlasting faith which is to come.
13 For behold, I say unto you, There be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all:
14 For behold, the time is not far distant, that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people.
15 Behold, I do not say that he will come among us at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle; for behold, the Spirit hath not said unto me that this should be the case.
16 Now as to this thing I do not know; but this much I do know, that the Lord God hath power to do all things which are according to his word.
17 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this people, saying, Repent ye, repent ye and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his paths, which are straight:
18 For behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the Son of God cometh upon the face of the earth.
19 And behold, he shall be born of Mary at Jerusalem, which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed, and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God;
20 And he shall go forth, suffering pains, and afflictions, and temptations of every kind;
21 And this that the word might be fulfilled which saith, He will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people; and he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people:
