Enos 1
1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Enos, knowing my father, that he was a just man, for he taught me in his language and also in the nurture and admonition of the Lord;
2 And blessed be the name of my God for it;
3 And I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before that I received a remission of my sins.
4 Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forest; And the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life and the joy of the saints - And the words of my father sunk deep into my heart;
5 And my soul hungered; And I kneeled down before my Maker and I cried unto Him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul;
6 And all the day long did I cry unto Him; Yea, and when the night came, I did still raise my voice high, that it reached the heavens;
7 And there came a voice unto me, saying: "Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee and thou shalt be blessed."
8 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; Wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
9 And I saith: "Lord, how is it done?"
10 And He saith unto me: "Because of thy faith in Christ whom thou hast not heard nor seen;
11 And many years passeth away before that He shall manifest Himself in the flesh; Wherefore, go to it - thy faith hath made thee whole."
