| Listen |
1 |
[1] HEARKEN my servant John, and listen to the words of Jesus
Christ, your Lord and your Redeemer, |
|
BC verse numbers are in brackets. |
|
2 |
for behold I speak unto you with sharpness and with power,
for mine arm is over all the earth, |
|
|
| Only you and I know |
3 |
and I will tell you that which no man knoweth save me and
thee alone: |
|
|
| You want to know
what is most valuable to you |
4 |
for many times you have desired of me to know that
which would be of the most worth unto you.
|
|
|
| Good |
5 |
[2] Behold, blessed are you for this
thing, and for speaking my words which I have given you, according to my
commandments: |
|
|
| Declare repentance |
6 |
[3] And now behold I say unto you,
that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you, will be to declare
repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you
may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen. |
