1 ^aA great and marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.

2 Behold, I am God; give ^aheed to my ^bword, which is quick and ^cpowerful, ^dsharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore give ^eheed unto my word.

3 Behold, the field is ^awhite already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap let him thrust in his sickle with his ^bmight, and reap while the day lasts, that he may ^ctreasure up for his soul ^deverlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.

4 Yea, whosoever will thrust in his sickle and ^areap, the same is ^bcalled of God.

5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will ^aknock it shall be opened unto you.

6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of ^aZion.

7 Seek not for ^ariches but for ^bwisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made ^crich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.

8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be done unto you; and, if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation.

9 ^aSay nothing but ^brepentance unto this generation. Keep my commandments, and assist to bring forth my ^cwork, ^daccording to my commandments, and you shall be blessed.

10 Behold, thou hast a ^agift, or thou shalt have a gift if thou wilt desire of me in faith, with an ^bhonest heart, believing in the power of Jesus Christ, or in my power which speaketh unto thee;

11 For, behold, it is I that speak; behold, I am the ^alight which shineth in darkness, and by my ^bpower I give these words unto thee.

12 And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your ^atrust in that ^bSpirit which ^cleadeth to do ^dgood—yea, to do ^ejustly, to walk ^fhumbly, to ^gjudge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall ^aenlighten your ^bmind, which shall fill your soul with ^cjoy;

14 And then shall ye know, or by this shall you know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of ^arighteousness, in faith believing in me that you shall receive.

15 Behold, I command you that you need not suppose that you are ^acalled to ^bpreach ^cuntil you are called.

16 Wait a little longer, until you shall have my word, my ^arock, my ^bchurch, and my gospel, that you may know of a surety my doctrine.

17 And then, behold, according to your desires, yea, even according to your ^afaith shall it be done unto you.

18 Keep my commandments; hold your peace; appeal unto my Spirit;

19 Yea, ^acleave unto me with all your heart, that you may assist in bringing to light those things of which has been spoken—yea, the ^btranslation of my work; be patient until you shall accomplish it.

20 Behold, this is your work, to ^akeep my commandments, yea, with all your might, ^bmind and strength.

21 Seek not to ^adeclare my word, but first seek to ^bobtain my ^cword, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my ^dSpirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the ^econvincing of men.

22 But now hold your ^apeace; study ^bmy word which hath gone forth among the children of men, and also ^cstudy my word which shall come forth among the children of men, or that which is ^dnow translating, yea, until you have obtained all which I shall ^egrant unto the children of men in this generation, and then shall all things be added thereto.

23 Behold thou art ^aHyrum, my son; ^bseek the kingdom of God, and all things shall be added according to that which is just.

24 ^aBuild upon my ^brock, which is my ^cgospel;

25 Deny not the spirit of ^arevelation, nor the spirit of ^bprophecy, for wo unto him that ^cdenieth these things;

26 Therefore, ^atreasure up in your ^bheart until the time which is in my wisdom that you shall go forth.

27 Behold, I speak unto ^aall who have good desires, and have thrust in their sickle to reap.

28 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the ^aSon of God. I am the life and the ^blight of the world.

29 I am the same who came unto mine own and mine own ^areceived me not;

30 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that as many as receive me, to them will I give ^apower to become the ^bsons of God, even to them that ^cbelieve on my name. Amen.
