3 Nephi 7

3 Nephi 7:1 [LDS 15:1]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that when] Jesus [had ended] [these sayings,] [he cast] [his eyes] [round about] [on the multitude,] [and said] [unto them,] Behold, [ye have heard] [the things] which [I have taught] before [I ascended] to [my Father;]

3 Nephi 7:2 [LDS 15:1]
Therefore whoso remembereth these sayings [of mine,] [and doeth them,] [him will I raise up] [at the last] day.

3 Nephi 7:3 [LDS 15:2]
[And it came to pass] [that when Jesus] [had said] these words, [he perceived] [that there were] some [among them] [who marveled,] [and wondered] what [he would] [concerning the Law] [of Moses;] for [they understood] not [the saying,] [that old things] [had passed away,] [and that all things] [had become] new.

3 Nephi 7:4 [LDS 15:3]
[And he said] [unto them,] Marvel not [that I said] [unto you,] [that old things] [had passed away,] [and that all things] [had become] new.

3 Nephi 7:5 [LDS 15:4]
Behold, [I say] [unto you,] [that the law] [is fulfilled] [that was given] unto Moses.

3 Nephi 7:6 [LDS 15:5]
Behold, [I am] he [that gave] [the law,] [and I am] [he who covenanted] with [my people] Israel; therefore, [the law] [in me] [is fulfilled,] for [I have come] [to fulfill] [the law;] therefore, [it hath an end.]

3 Nephi 7:7 [LDS 15:6]
Behold, [I do <not> destroy] [the prophets,] for [as many as] [have <not> been fulfilled] [in me,] verily, [I say] [unto you,] [shall all be fulfilled.]

3 Nephi 7:8 [LDS 15:7]
[And because] [I said] [unto you,] [that old things] [hath passed away,] [I do <not> destroy] that which [hath been spoken] concerning things which [are to come.]

3 Nephi 7:9 [LDS 15:8]
For behold, [the covenant] which [I have made] with [my people,] [is not] all fulfilled; [but the law] which [was given] unto Moses, [hath an end] [in me.]

3 Nephi 7:10 [LDS 15:9]
Behold, [I am] [the law,] [and the light;] look [unto me,] [and endure] [to the end,] [and ye shall live,] for [unto him] [that endureth] [to the end] [will I give] eternal life.

3 Nephi 7:11 [LDS 15:10]
Behold, [I have given unto you] [the commandments;] [therefore keep] [my commandments.]

3 Nephi 7:12 [LDS 15:10]
[And this] [is the law] [and the prophets,] for [they <truly> testified] [of me.]

3 Nephi 7:13 [LDS 15:11]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that when Jesus] [had spoken] these words, [he said] unto those twelve whom [he had chosen,] [Ye are] [my disciples;] [and ye are] [a light] unto this people, who [are a remnant] [of the house] [of Joseph.]

3 Nephi 7:14 [LDS 15:13]
[And behold,] this [is the land] [of your inheritance;] [and the Father] [hath given it] [unto you.]

3 Nephi 7:15 [LDS 15:14]
[And not] [at any time] [hath the Father] [given me commandment] [that I should tell it] unto [your brethren] [at Jerusalem;] neither [at any time] [hath the Father] [given me commandment,] [that I should tell] [unto them] concerning [the <other> tribes] [of the house] [of Israel,] whom [the Father] [hath led away] [out of the land.]

3 Nephi 7:16 [LDS 15:16]
[This much] [[did [the Father] command me,]] [that I should tell] [unto them,] [that <other> sheep I have,] [which are] not [of <this> fold;] them also [I must bring,] [and they shall hear] [my voice;] [and there shall be] one fold, [and <one> shepherd.]

3 Nephi 7:17 [LDS 15:18]
[And now] [because of stiff-neckedness] [and unbelief,] [they understood] not [my word;] therefore [I was commanded] [to say] no more [of the Father] concerning this thing [unto them.]

3 Nephi 7:18 [LDS 15:19]
[But,{incorrect punctuation} verily,] [I say] [unto you,] that [the Father] [hath commanded me,] [and I tell it] [unto you,] [that ye were separated] [from among them] [because of their iniquity;] [therefore it is because of their iniquity,] [that they know] [not of you.]

3 Nephi 7:19 [LDS 15:20]
[And verily,] [I say] [unto you] again, [that the <other> tribes] [hath the Father] separated [from them;] [and it is because of their iniquity,] [that they know] [not of them.]

3 Nephi 7:20 [LDS 15:21]
[And verily,] [I say] [unto you,] [that ye are] [they of whom] [I said,] Other [sheep I have] [which are] not [of <this> fold;] them also [I must bring,] [and they shall hear] [my voice,] [and there shall be] one fold, [and <one> shepherd.]

3 Nephi 7:21 [LDS 15:22]
[And they understood me] not, for [they supposed] [it had been the Gentiles;] for [they understood] not [that the Gentiles] [should be converted] [through their preaching;]

3 Nephi 7:22 [LDS 15:23]
[And they understood me] not [that I said] [they shall hear] [my voice;] [and they understood me] not [that the Gentiles] [should <not>] [at any time] hear [my voice;] [that I should <not> manifest myself] [unto them,] save [it were by the <Holy> Ghost.]

3 Nephi 7:23 [LDS 15:24]
[But behold,] [ye have both heard] [my voice,] [and seen me,] [and ye are] [my sheep,] [and ye are] numbered among [those whom] [the Father] [hath given] me.

3 Nephi 7:24 [LDS 16:1]
[And verily,] verily, [I say] [unto you,] [that I have <other> sheep,] [which are] not [of <this> land;] neither [of the land] [of Jerusalem;] neither [in any parts] [of <that> land] [round about,] whither [I have been to minister.]

3 Nephi 7:25 [LDS 16:2]
For [they of whom] [I speak,] [are they who] [have <not> <as> yet] heard [my voice;] neither [have I at any time] [manifested myself] [unto them.]

3 Nephi 7:26 [LDS 16:3]
[But I have received] [a commandment] [of the Father,] [that I shall go] [unto them,] [and that they shall hear] [my voice,] [and shall be numbered] among [my sheep,] [that there may be] one fold, [and <one> shepherd;] therefore [I go] [to shew myself] [unto them.]

3 Nephi 7:27 [LDS 16:4]
[And I command] you [that ye shall write] these sayings, after [I am gone,] [that if it so be] that [my people] [at Jerusalem,] [they who] [have seen me,] [and been] [with me] [in my ministry,] [do <not> ask] [the Father] [in my name,] [that they may receive] [a knowledge of you] [by the <Holy> Ghost,] [and also] [of the <other> tribes] whom [they know] [not of,]

3 Nephi 7:28 [LDS 16:4]
[That these] sayings which [ye shall write,] [shall be kept,] [and shall be manifested] unto [the Gentiles,] that [through the fullness] [of the Gentiles,] [the remnant] [of their seed] who [shall be scattered forth] upon [the face] [of the earth,] [because of their unbelief,] [may be brought in,] [or may be brought] [to a knowledge of me,] [their Redeemer.]

3 Nephi 7:29 [LDS 16:5]
[And then will I gather them in] [from the <four> quarters] [of the earth;] [and then will I fulfill] [the covenant] which [the Father] [hath made] unto all [the people] [of the house] [of Israel.]

3 Nephi 7:30 [LDS 16:6]
[And blessed] [are the Gentiles,] [because of their belief] [in me,] [in and of the <Holy> Ghost,] [which witness] [unto them] [of me] [and of the Father.]

3 Nephi 7:31 [LDS 16:7]
Behold, [because of their belief] [in me,] saith [the Father,] [and because of the unbelief] [of you,] [O house] [of Israel,] [in the latter] day [shall the truth] come unto [the Gentiles,] that [the fullness] [of these] things [shall be made known] [unto them.]

3 Nephi 7:32 [LDS 16:8]
[But wo,] saith [the Father,] unto [the unbelieving] [of the Gentiles,] for notwithstanding [they have come forth] upon [the face] [of this land,] [and have scattered] [my people,] who [are of the house] [of Israel;] [and my people] who [are of the house] [of Israel,] [have been cast out] [from among them,] [and have been trodden under feet] [by them;]

3 Nephi 7:33 [LDS 16:9]
[And because of the mercies] [of the Father] unto [the Gentiles,] [and also] [the judgments] [of the Father] upon [my people,] who [are of the house] [of Israel,] verily, verily, [I say] [unto you,] [that after] all this, [and I have caused] [my people] who [are of the house] [of Israel,] [to be smitten,] [and to be afflicted,] [and to be slain,] [and to be cast out] [from among them,] [and to become hated] [by them,] [and to become] [a hiss] [and a byword] [among them.]

3 Nephi 7:34 [LDS 16:10]
[And thus] commandeth [the Father] [that I should say] [unto you,] [At <that> day] [when the Gentiles] [shall sin] against [my gospel,] [and shall reject] [the fullness] [of my gospel,] [and shall be lifted up] [in the pride] [of their hearts] [above all] nations, [and above all] [the people] [of the whole] earth, [and shall be filled] [with all manner] [of lyings,] [and of deceits,] [and of mischiefs,] [and all manner] [of hypocrisy,] [and murders,] [and priestcrafts,] [and whoredoms,] [and of <secret> abominations;]

3 Nephi 7:35 [LDS 16:10]
[And if] [they shall do] all these things, [and shall reject] [the fullness] [of my gospel,] behold, saith [the Father,] [I will bring] [the fullness] [of my gospel] [from among them;]

3 Nephi 7:36 [LDS 16:11]
[And then will I remember] [my covenant] which [I have made] unto [my people,] [O house] [of Israel,] [and I will bring] [my gospel] [unto them;]

3 Nephi 7:37 [LDS 16:12]
[And I will shew] [unto thee,] [O house] [of Israel,] [that the Gentiles] [shall <not> have power] [over you,] [but I will remember] [my covenant] [unto you,] [O house] [of Israel,] [and ye shall come] [unto the knowledge] [of the fullness] [of my gospel.]

3 Nephi 7:38 [LDS 16:13]
[But if] [the Gentiles] [will repent,] [and return] [unto me,] saith [the Father,] behold, [they shall be numbered] among [my people,] [O house] [of Israel;]

[But if] [they will <not> turn] [unto me,] [and hearken] [unto my voice,] [I will suffer them,] yea, [I will suffer] [my people,] [O house] [of Israel,] [that they shall go through] [among them,] [and shall tread them down,]

3 Nephi 7:41 [LDS 16:15]
[And they shall be] [as salt] [that hath lost its savor,] which [is thenceforth] good [for nothing,] [but to be cast out,] [and to be trodden under foot] [of my people,] [O house] [of Israel.]

3 Nephi 7:42 [LDS 16:16]
