11 "And now, in your epistle ye hath censured me, but it mattereth not-I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart.

12 "I, Pahoron, do not seek for power, save only to retain my judgment seat, that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people;

13 My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free!

14 "And now behold, we will resist wickedness, even unto bloodshed;

15 We would not shed the blood of the Lamanites, if they would stay in their own land;

16 We would not shed the blood of our brethren, if they would not rise up in rebellion and take the sword against us;

17 We would subject ourselves to the yoke of bondage, if it were requisite with the justice of God, or if He should command us so to do.

18 "But behold, He doth not command us that we shall subject ourselves to our enemies, But that we should put our trust in Him and He will deliver us;

19 Therefore, my beloved brother Moroni, let us resist evil; And whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words - yea, such as rebellions and dissensions - Let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, That we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.

20 "Therefore, come unto me speedily with a few of your men, And leave the remainder in the charge of Lehi and Teancum; Give unto them power to conduct the war in that part of the land, according to the Spirit of God - which is also the spirit of freedom - which is in them;

21 Behold, I have sent a few provisions unto them, that they may not perish until ye can come unto me.
