Jacob 5:48 - Enos 1:10
48 And to the reader I bid farewell, hoping that many of my brethren may read my words. Brethren, adieu.
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 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, 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 said, Lord, how is it done?
10 And he said unto me, because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen.
