RCE Verse Context

11 And again, it showeth unto the children of men the straitness of the path and the narrowness of the gate by which they should enter, He having set the example before them;

12 And He saith unto the children of men: "Follow thou Me."

13 Wherefore my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?

14 And the Father saith: "Repent ye! Repent ye! And be baptized in the name of My beloved Son!"

15 And also the voice of the Son came unto me, saying: "He that is baptized in My name, To him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto Me; Wherefore, follow Me and do the things which ye have seen Me do."

17 Yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, And then can ye speak with the tongue of angels and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.

18 But behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying: "After that ye have repented of your sins, And witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep My commandments by the baptism of water, And have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, And can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels - And after this should deny Me, It would have been better for you that ye had not known Me."

19 And I heard a voice from the Father, saying: "Yea, the words of My Beloved are true and faithful;

20 He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved."

21 And now my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man shall endure to the end in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.
