10 And moreover, have ye sufficiently retained in remembrance that he has delivered their souls from hell?

11 Behold, he changed their hearts; yea, he awaked them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God.

12 Behold they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word;

13 Yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell, and an everlasting destruction did await them.
