2d wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments, he shall be blessed unto eternal life, and his name is Joseph.
3a And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the way of commandment;
3b for, behold, I command all men everywhere to repent, and I speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine apostle, for you are called even with that same calling with which he was called.
3c Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; for, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.
3d And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him on conditions of repentance.
3e And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth. Wherefore you are called to cry repentance unto this people.
3f And if it so be that you should labor all your days, in crying repentance unto this people, and bring save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
4a And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy, if you should bring many souls unto me!
4b Behold, you have my gospel before you, and my Rock, and my salvation.
4c Ask the Father in my name, in faith believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost which manifesteth all things, which is expedient unto the children of men.
4d And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing. Contend against no church, save it be the church of the Devil.
