  Speaker 1: Jacob Chapter one. For behold, it came to pass that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: fifty and five years had passed away from the time
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that Lehi left Jerusalem. Wherefore Nephi gave me Jacob a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: commandment concerning the small plates upon which these things are engraven.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And he gave me Jacob a commandment that I should
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: write upon these plates a few of the things which
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I consider to be most precious, that I should not touch,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: save it were lightly concerning the history of this people,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: which are called the people of Nephi. For he said
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that the history of his people should be engraven upon
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: his other plates, and that I should preserve these plates
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and hand them down unto my seed from generation to generation.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And if there were preaching which was sacred, or revelation
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: which was great, or prophesying, that I should engraven the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: heads of them upon these plates and touch upon them
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: as much as it were possible, for Christ's sake and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for the sake of our people. For because of faith
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and great anxiety, it truly had been made manifest unto
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: us concerning our people, what things should happen unto them.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And we also had many revelations, and the spirit of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: much prophecy. Wherefore we knew of Christ and his kingdom
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: which should come. Wherefore we labored diligently among our people,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that we might persuade them to come unto Christ and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: into His rest lest by any means, He should swear
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in his wrath, they should not enter in as in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the provocation in the days of Temptation, while the children
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of Israel were in the wilderness. Wherefore we would to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: God that we could persuade all men not to rebel
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: against God, to provoke him to anger, but that all
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: men would believe in Christ and view his death, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world. Wherefore, I, Jacob,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: take it upon me to fulfill the commandment of my
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: brother Nephi. Now Nephi began to be old, and he
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: saw that he might soon die. Wherefore he appointed a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: man to be a king and a ruler over his people. Now,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: according to the reigns of the kings, the people having
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: loved Nephi exceedingly, he having been a great protector for them,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: having wielded the sword of labor in their defense, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: having labored in all his days for their welfare. Wherefore
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the people were desirous to retain in remembrance his name.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And whoso should reign in his stead were called by
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the people second Nephi, Third Nephi, and so forth, according
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to the reigns of the kings. And thus they were
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: called by the people. Let them be of whatever name
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: they would. And it came to pass that Nephi died.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Now the people which were not Lamanites were Nephites. Nevertheless,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they were called Nephites, Jacobites, Josephites, Zoramites, Lamanites, Lemuelites, and Ishmaelites.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But I, Jacob shall not hereafter distinguish them by these names.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I shall call them Lamanites that seek to destroy
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the people of Nephi, and those who are friendly to Nephi,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I shall call Nephites or the people of Nephi, according
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to the reigns of the kings. And now it came
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to pass that the people of Nephi, under the reign
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the second king began to grow hard in their
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hearts and indulge themselves somewhat in wicked practices, such as
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: liken to David of old, desiring many wives and concubines,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and also Solomon his son Yea. And they also began
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to search much gold and silver, and began to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: lifted up somewhat in pride. Wherefore, I Jacob gave unto
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: them these words as I taught them in the temple,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: having first obtained mine errand from the Lord. For I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Jacob and my brother Joseph had been consecrated priests and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: teachers of this people by the hand of Nephi. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: us the responsibility answering the sins of the people upon
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: our own heads, if we did not teach them the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: word of God with all diligence, Wherefore, by laboring with
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: our might, their blood might not come upon our garments.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: would not be found spotless at the last day. Jacob
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Chapter two, the words which Jacob, the brother of Nephi,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: spake unto the people of Nephi after the death of Nephi. Now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: my beloved brethren, I Jacob, according to the responsibility which
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I am under to God, to magnify mine office with soberness,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and that I might rid my garments of your sins.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I come up into the temple this day, that I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: might declare unto you the word of God. And ye
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: yourselves know that I have hitherto been diligent in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: office of my calling. But I this day am weighed
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: down with much more desire and anxiety for the welfare
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of your souls than I have hitherto been. For Behold,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: as yet ye have been obedient unto the word of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the Lord, which I have given unto you. But behold,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hearken ye unto me, and know that by the help
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of the All Powerful Creator of Heaven and Earth, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: can tell you concerning your thoughts, how that yere beginning
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to labor in sin, which sin appereth very abominable unto me, yea,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and abominable unto God yea. It grieveth my soul and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: causeth me to shrink with shame before the presence of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: my Maker, that I must testify unto you concerning the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: wickedness of your hearts. And also it grieveth me that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I must use so much boldness of speech concerning you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: before your wives and your children, many of whose feelings
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: are exceedingly tender and chaste and delicate before God, which
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: thing is pleasing unto God. And it supposeth me that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of God. Yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Wherefore it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: because of the strict commandment which I have received from God,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to admonish you according to your crimes, to enlarge the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: wounds of those who are already wounded, instead of consoling
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and healing their wounds, And those who have not been wounded,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God, have
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: But notwithstanding the greatness of the task, I must do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: according to the strict commands of God, and tell you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: concerning your wickedness and abominations in the presence of the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: pure in heart and the broken heart, and under the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: glance of the piercing eye of the Almighty God. Wherefore
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I must tell you the truth according to the plainness
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of the Word of God. For behold, as I inquired
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Lord, thus came the word unto me, saying Jacob
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: get thou up into the temple on the morrow, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: declare the word which I shall give thee unto this people.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And now behold, my brethren, this is the word which
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I declare unto you, that many of you have begun
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to search for gold and for silver, and for all
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: manner of precious oars in the which this land, which
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is a land of promise, unto you and to your seed,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: doth abound most plentifully. And the hand of Providence hath
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: smiled upon you most pleasingly. That you have obtained many riches.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And because some of you have obtained more abundantly than
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that of your brethren, ye are lifted up in the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: heads because of the costliness of your apparel, and persecute
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: your brethren, because ye suppose that ye are better than they.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And now, my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you in this thing? Behold, I say unto you, nay,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but He condemneth you. And if ye persist in these things,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: his judgments must speedily come unto you. Oh, that He
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: would show you that he can pierce you, and with
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: one glance of his eye, he can smite you to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the dust. Oh that He would rid you from this
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: iniquity and abomination, And Oh that ye would listen unto
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the word of His commands. And let not this pride
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of your hearts destroy your souls. Think of your brethren
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with your substance, that they may be rich liken to you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in Christ, ye shall obtain riches if ye seek them.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And ye will seek them for the intent to do good,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and the afflicted. And now, my brethren, I have spoken
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: unto you concerning pride and those of you which have
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: afflicted your neighbor and persecuted him, because ye were proud
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in your hearts of the things which God hath given you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: What say ye of it? Do ye not suppose that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: such things are abominable unto Him who created all flesh.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And the one being ing is as precious in his
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: sight as the other, And all flesh is of the dust.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And for the self same end hath He created them,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that they should keep His commandments and glorify Him forever.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And now I make an end of speaking unto you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: concerning this pride. And were it not that I must
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: speak unto you concerning a grosser crime, my heart would
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: rejoice exceedingly because of you. But the word of God
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: saith the Lord, this people begin to wax an iniquity.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: themselves in committing horedoms because of the things which were
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: written concerning David and Solomon his son. Behold, David and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: abominable before me, saith the Lord. Wherefore, thus saith the Lord,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I have led this people forth out of the land
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of Jerusalem by the power of mine arm, that I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: fruit of the loins of Joseph. Wherefore I, the Lord God,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: will not suffer that this people shall do like unto
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: them of old. Wherefore, my brethren hear me and hearken
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to the word of the Lord. For there shall not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: any man among you have, save it be one wife
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and concubines. He shall have none, For I, the Lord
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: God delight in the chastity of women, and hortems are
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: an abomination before me. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Wherefore this people shall keep my commandments. Saith the Lord
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: up seed unto me, I will command my people. Otherwise
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they shall hearken unto these things. For behold, I the Lord,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: have seen the sorrow and heard the mourning of the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem yea,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and in all the lands of my people, because of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the wickedness and abominations of their husbands. And I will
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of the fair daughters of this people, which I have
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: unto me against the men of my people, Saith the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Lord of Hosts. For they shall not lead away captive
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the daughters of my people because of their tenderness. Save
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I shall visit them with a sore curse, even unto destruction,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for they shall not commit hortems liken to them of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: old saith the Lord of hosts. And now behold, my brethren,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: ye know that these commandments were given to our father Lehi.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Wherefore ye have known them before, and ye have COmON
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to great condemnation, for ye have done these things which
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ye ought not to have done. Behold, ye have done
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: greater iniquities than the Lamanites. Our brethren, Ye have broken
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the hearts of your tender wives and lost the confidence
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of your children because of your bad examples before them,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and the sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: against you. And because of the strictness of the word
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of God which cometh down against you, many hearts died
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: pierced with deep wounds. Jacob chapter three. But behold, I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Jacob would speak unto you that are pure in heart,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: your afflictions, and he will plead your cause and send
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: down justice upon those who seek your destruction. Oh, while
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: ye that are pure in heart lift up your heads
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: his love. For ye may if your minds are firm forever.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But woe, woe, woe unto you that are not pure
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in heart, that are filthy this day before God. For
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: except you repent, the land is cursed for your sakes.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And the Lamanites, which are not filty like unto you. Nevertheless,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they are cursed with a sore cursing, shall scourge you
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: even unto destruction. And the time speedily cometh that except
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ye repent, they shall possess the land of your inheritance,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and the Lord God will lead away the righteous out
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: from among you. Behold the Lamanites, your brethren, whom ye
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: come upon their skins, are more righteous than you, for
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord which
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: was given unto our Father, that they should have save
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it were one wife and concubines, they should have none,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and there should not be hortems committed among them. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: now this commandment they observed to keep. Wherefore, because of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this observance, in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: not destroy them, but will be merciful unto them, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: one day they shall become a blessed people. Behold, their
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: husbands love their wives, and their wives love their husbands,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and their husbands and their wives love their children. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: their unbelief and their hatred towards you is because of
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the iniquity of their fathers. Wherefore, how much better are
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you than they in the sight of your Great Creator, Oh,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: your sins, that their skins will be whiter than yours
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: when ye shall be brought with them before the throne
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of God. Wherefore a commandment I give unto you, which
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: is the word of God, that ye revile no more
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: against them because of the darkness of their skins. Neither
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: ye shall remember your own filthiness, and remember that their
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: filthiness came because of their fathers. Wherefore ye shall remember
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: your children, how that ye have grieved their hearts because
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of the example that ye have set before them. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: also remember that ye may, because of your filthiness, bring
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: your children unto destruction, and their sins be heaped upon
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: your heads at the last day, O my brethren, hearken
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: unto my words, arouse the faculties of your souls, Shake
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: yourselves that ye may awake from the slumber of death.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: In loose yourselves from the pains of hell, that ye
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: may not become angels to the devil, to be cast
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: into the lake of fire and brimstone, which is the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: second death. And now I, Jacob spake many more things
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: unto the people of Nephi, warning them against fornication, in
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lashiviousness and every kind of sin, telling them the awful
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: consequences of them. And a hundredth part of the proceedings
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of this people, which now begin to be numerous, cannot
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be written upon these plates. But many of their proceedings
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: are written upon the larger plates, and their wars, and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: their contentions, and the reigns of their kings. These plates
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: are called the plates of Jacob, and they were made
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: by the hand of Nephi. And I make an end
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of speaking these words Jacob chapter four. Now behold it
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: came to pass that I, Jacob, having ministered much unto
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: my people in word, and I cannot write but a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: little of my words because of the difficulty of engraving
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: our words upon plates. And we know that the things
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: which we write upon plates must remain. But whatsoever thing
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: we write upon any things, save it be upon plates,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: must perish and vanish away. But we can write a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: few words upon plates which will give our children and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: also our beloved brethren, a small degree of knowledge concerning
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: us or concerning their fathers. Now in this thing we
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: do rejoice, and we labor diligently to engraven these words
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: upon plates, hoping that our beloved brethren and our children
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: will receive them with thankful hearts, and look upon them,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that they may learn with joy and not with sorrow,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: neither with contempt concerning their first parents. For for this
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: intent have we written these things, that they may know
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that we knew of Christ, and we had a hope
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of his glory many hundred years before his coming. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: but also all the holy prophets which were before us. Behold,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they believed in Christ and worshiped the Father in his name,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And also we worship the Father in his name. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: for this intent we keep the Law of Moses. Yet
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: pointing our souls to Him, and for this cause it
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is sanctified unto us for righteousness, even as it was
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: accounted unto Abraham and the wilderness to be obedient unto
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the commands of God. In offering up his son Isaac,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: which is a similitude of God and his only begotten son.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Wherefore we search the prophets, and we have many revelations
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and the spirit of prophecy. And having all these witnesses,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that we truly can command in the name of Jesus,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and the very trees obey us, or the mountains or
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the waves of the sea. Nevertheless, the Lord God sheweth
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: unto us our weakness, that we may know that it
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is by His grace and his great condescensions unto the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: children of men, that we have power to do these things. Behold,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: great and marvelous are the works of the Lord. How
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of Him. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it is impossible that man should find out all his ways.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: And no man knoweth of his ways, save it be
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: revealed unto him. Wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: For behold, by the power of his word, Man came
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: upon the face of the earth, which earth was created
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: by the power of his word. Wherefore, if God being
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: able to speak, and the world was and to speak
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in man was created, Oh, then why not able to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: command the earth or the workmanship of his hands upon
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the face of it, according to His will and pleasure. Wherefore, brethren,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that He
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: counseleth in wisdom and in justice, and in great mercy
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: over all his works. Wherefore, beloved brethren, be reconciled unto
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Him through the atonement of Christ, his only begotten son,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and ye may obtain a resurrection according to the power
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of the resurrection which is in Christ, and be presented
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: as the first fruits of Christ unto God, having faith
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and obtained a good hope of glory in Him before
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: He manifesteth himself in the flesh. And now, beloved, marvel
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: not that I tell you these things? For why not
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: speak of the atonement of Christ and attain to a
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: perfect knowledge of Him, as to attain to the knowledge
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of a resurrection in the world to come. Behold, my brethren,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: For the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it speaketh of things as they really are, and of
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: things as they really will be. Wherefore these things are
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: manifested unto us plainly for the salvation of our souls.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for God also spake them unto prophets of old. But behold,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the Jews were a stiff necked people, and they despised
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the words of plainness, and killed the prophets, and sought
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: for things that they could not understand. Wherefore, because of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: they must needs fall. For God hath taken away his
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: plainness from them and delivered unto them many things which
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: desired it, God hath done it that they may stumble. Now,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: why Jacobin led on by the spirit unto prophesying. For
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I perceive, by the workings of the Spirit which is
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in me, that by the stumbling of the Jews they
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: will reject the stone upon which they might build and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: have safe foundation. But behold, according to the scriptures, this
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: stone shall become the great and the last and the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: only sure foundation upon which the Jews can build. And now,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: my beloved, how is it possible that these, after having
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it, that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: it may become the head of their corner. Behold, my
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto you if
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I do not, by any means get shaken from my
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: firmness in the spirit and stumble because of my over
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: anxiety for you and of Jacob Chapters one through four
