Father? Corianton.

I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother; for thou didst not give so much heed unto my words as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites. Thou didst go on unto boasting in thy strength and thy wisdom. Father-- This is not all, my son. Thou didst do that which was grievous unto me; for thou didst forsake the ministry, and did go over into the land of Siron, after the harlot Isabel. "A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him." She did steal away the hearts of many; but this was no excuse for thee, my son. Know ye not that these things are an abomination in the sight of the Lord; yea, most abominable above all sins save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost? I would to God that ye had not been guilty of so great a crime.

I would not dwell upon your crimes, to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good. But ye cannot hide your crimes from God; and except ye repent they will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.

My son, repent and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

Counsel with your brothers; for thou art in thy youth, and ye stand in need to be nourished by your brothers. For when the Zoramites saw your conduct they would not believe in my words.

Turn to the Lord with all your mind, might, and strength; that ye lead away the hearts of no more to do wickedly; but rather return unto them, and acknowledge your faults and that wrong which ye have done.

I am so sorry.

I would say somewhat unto you concerning the coming of Christ.

It is He that surely shall come to take away the sins of the world. He cometh to declare glad tidings of salvation unto His people.
