65 And behold, if a man hideth up a treasure in the earth, And the Lord shall say, "Let it be accursed because of the iniquity of him that hath hid it up" - Behold, it shall be accursed.
66 And if the Lord shall say, "Be thou accursed! that no man shall find thee from this time henceforth and forever" - And behold, no man getteth it henceforth and forever.
67 And behold, if the Lord shalt say unto a man, "Because of thine iniquities, thou shalt be accursed forever!" - And it shall be done.
68 And if the Lord shall say, "Because of thine iniquities, thou shalt be cut off from My presence!" - And He will cause that it shall be so.
69 And wo unto whom He shall say this! for it shall be unto him that will do iniquity and he cannot be saved; Therefore, for this cause - that men might be saved - hath repentance been declared.
70 Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God, For these are they that shall be saved;
71 And may God grant in His great fullness that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, That they might be restored unto grace for grace according to their works.
72 And I would that all men might be saved; But we read that in that great and last day there are some which shall be cast out, Yea, which shall be cast off from the presence of the Lord,
73 Yea, which shall be consigned to a state of endless misery, fulfilling the words which saith: "They that have done good shall have everlasting life; And they that have done evil shall have everlasting damnation." And thus it is. Amen.
Helaman 5
Intro: The prophecy of Samuel the Lamanite to the Nephites.
1 And now it came to pass in the eighty and sixth year, the Nephites did still remain in wickedness - yea, in great wickedness - While the Lamanites did observe strictly to keep the commandments of God according to the law of Moses.
