Moroni 10

Moroni 10:1 [LDS 10:1]
[Now I,] Moroni, [write somewhat] [as seemeth me] good; [and I write] unto [my brethren] [the Lamanites,] [and I would that] [they should know] that [more than] four hundred [and twenty] years [have passed away,] since [the sign] [was given] [of the coming] [of Christ.]

Moroni 10:2 [LDS 10:2]
[And I seal up] these records, after [I have spoken] [a <few> words] [by way] [of exhortation] [unto you.]

Moroni 10:3 [LDS 10:3]
Behold, [I would exhort you] that [when ye shall read] these things, [if it be] wisdom [in God] that [ye should read them,] [that ye would remember] how merciful [the Lord] [hath been] unto [the children] [of men,] [from the creation] [of Adam,] [even down] until [the time] [that ye shall receive] these things, [and ponder it] [in your hearts.]

Moroni 10:4 [LDS 10:4]
[And when ye shall receive] these things, [I would exhort you] [that ye would ask] God, [the <eternal> Father,] [in the name] [of Christ,] if these things [are <not> true;]

Moroni 10:5 [LDS 10:5]
[And if] [ye shall ask] [with a sincere] heart, [with <real> intent,] [having faith] [in Christ,] [he will manifest] [the truth of it] [unto you,] [by the power] [of the <Holy> Ghost;] [and by the power] [of the <Holy> Ghost,] [ye may know] [the truth] [of all things.]

Moroni 10:6 [LDS 10:6]
[And whatsoever] thing [is good,] [is just] [and true;] wherefore, nothing that [is good] denieth [the Christ,] [but acknowledgeth] [that he is.]

Moroni 10:7 [LDS 10:7]
[And ye may know] that [he is,] [by the power] [of the <Holy> Ghost;] [wherefore I would exhort you,] [that ye deny] not [the power] [of God;] for [he worketh] [by power,] [according to the faith] [of the children] [of men,] [the same] to-day [and to-morrow,] [and for ever.]

Moroni 10:8 [LDS 10:8]
[And again] [I exhort you,] [my brethren,] [that ye deny] not [the gifts] [of God,] for [they are many;] [and they come] [[from [the same] God. ]]

Moroni 10:9 [LDS 10:8]
[And there are different ways] [that <these> gifts] [are administered;] [but it] [[is [the same] God ]] [who worketh] all [in all;] [and they are given] [by the manifestations] [of the Spirit] [of God] unto men, [to profit them.]

Moroni 10:10 [LDS 10:9]
For behold, [to one] [is given] [by the Spirit] [of God,] [that he may teach] [the word] [of wisdom;] [and to another,] [that he may teach] [the word] [of knowledge] [[by [the same] Spirit; ]] [and to another] exceeding great faith; [and to another,] [the gifts] [of healing] [[by [the same] Spirit. ]]

Moroni 10:11 [LDS 10:12]
[And again,] [to another,] [that he may work] mighty miracles; [and again,] [to another,] [that he may prophesy] concerning [all things;] [and again,] [to another,] [the beholding] [of angels] [and <ministering> spirits;] [and again,] to another, [all kinds] [of tongues;] [and again,] [to another,] [the interpretation] [of languages] [and of divers kinds] [of tongues.]

Moroni 10:12 [LDS 10:17]
[And all] these gifts come [by the Spirit] [of Christ;] [and they come] unto every man severally, [according as he will.]

Moroni 10:13 [LDS 10:18]
[And I would exhort you,] [my <beloved> brethren,] [that ye remember] [that every] good gift cometh [of Christ.]

Moroni 10:14 [LDS 10:19]
[And I would exhort you,] [my <beloved> brethren,] [that ye remember] [that he is] [the same] yesterday, to-day, [and for ever,] [and that all] these gifts [of which] [I have spoken,] which [are spiritual,] never [will be done away,] [even as long as] [the world] [shall stand,] only [according to the unbelief] [of the children] [of men.]

Moroni 10:15 [LDS 10:20]
[Wherefore,{incorrect punctuation} there must be faith;] [and if] [there must be faith,] [there must <also> be hope;] [and if] [there must be hope,] [there must <also> be charity;] [and except] [ye have charity,] [ye can in <no> wise] [be saved] [in the kingdom] [of God;]

Moroni 10:16 [LDS 10:21]
Neither [can ye be saved] [in the kingdom] [of God,] if [ye have <not> faith;] neither [can ye] if [ye have] no hope; [and if] [ye have] no hope, [ye must needs be] [in despair;] [and despair] cometh [because of iniquity.]

Moroni 10:17 [LDS 10:23]
[And Christ] truly said unto [our fathers,] If [ye have faith,] [ye can do] [all things] which [are expedient] [unto me.]

Moroni 10:18 [LDS 10:24]
[And now] [I speak] unto all [the ends] [of the earth,] that if [the day] cometh [that the power] [and gifts] [of God] [shall be done away] [among you,] [it shall be] [because of unbelief.]

Moroni 10:19 [LDS 10:25]
[And wo be] [unto the children] [of men,] if this be [the case,] for [there shall be] none [that doeth good] [among you,] no not one.

Moroni 10:20 [LDS 10:25]
For if [there be one] [among you] [that doeth good,] [he shall work] [by the power] [and gifts] [of God.]

Moroni 10:21 [LDS 10:26]
[And wo] [unto them who] [[shall do <these> <things> away]] [and die,] for [they die] [in their sins,] [and they can not] [be saved] [in the kingdom] [of God;] [and I speak it] [according to the words] [of Christ,] [and I lie] not.

Moroni 10:22 [LDS 10:27]
[And I exhort you] [to remember] these things; for [the time] speedily cometh [that ye shall know] that [I lie] not, for [ye shall see me] [at the bar] [of God,] [and the Lord] God [will say] [unto you,] [Did I <not> declare] [my words] [unto you,] which [were written] [by <this> man,] [like as one] crying [from the dead?]

Moroni 10:23 [LDS 10:27]
[Yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [as one] [speaking out] [of the dust?]

Moroni 10:24 [LDS 10:28]
[I declare] these things [unto the fulfilling] [of the prophecies.]

Moroni 10:25 [LDS 10:28]
[And behold,] [they shall proceed forth] [out of the mouth] [of the everlasting] God; [and his word] [shall hiss forth] [from generation] [to generation.]

Moroni 10:26 [LDS 10:29]
[And God] [shall shew] [unto you,] [that that which] [I have written] [is true.]

Moroni 10:27 [LDS 10:30]
[And again] [I would exhort you,] [that ye would come] unto Christ, [and lay hold upon] every good gift [and touch] not [the evil] gift, nor [the unclean thing.]

Moroni 10:28 [LDS 10:31] [Note]
[And awake,] [and arise] [from the dust,] [O Jerusalem;] yea, [and put on] [thy <beautiful> garments,] [O daughter] [of Zion,] [and strengthen] [thy stakes,] [and enlarge] [thy borders] [for ever,] [[that thou mayest <no> <more> be confounded, ]] [that the covenants] [of the <eternal> Father] which [he hath made] [unto thee,] [O house] [of Israel,] [may be fulfilled.]

Moroni 10:29 [LDS 10:32] [Note]
Yea, come unto Christ, [and be perfected] [in him,] [and deny yourselves] [of all] ungodliness, [and if] [ye shall deny yourselves] [of all] ungodliness, [and love] God [with all] [your might,] mind [and strength,] then [is his grace] sufficient [for you,] that [by his grace] [ye may be] perfect [in Christ;] [and if] [by the grace] [of God] [ye are] perfect [in Christ,] [ye can] [in no wise] deny [the power] [of God.]

Moroni 10:30 [LDS 10:33]
[And again,] if ye, [by the grace] [of God,] [are perfect] [in Christ,] [and deny] not [his power,] [then are ye sanctified] [in Christ] [by the grace] [of God,] [through the shedding] [of the blood] [of Christ,] which [is in the covenant] [of the Father,] [unto the remission] [of your sins,] [that ye become] holy [without spot.]

Moroni 10:31 [LDS 10:34]
[And now] [I bid] [unto all,] farewell. [I <soon> go] [to rest] [in the paradise] [of God,] until [my spirit] [and body] [shall again] reunite, [and I am brought forth] triumphant [through the air,] [to meet you] before [the <pleasing> bar] [of the <great> Jehovah,] [the <eternal> Judge] [of both quick] [and dead.] Amen.
