fulfilling the words which say: They that have done good shall
have everlasting life; and they that have done evil shall have
everlasting damnation. And thus it is. Amen.

Helaman 13
Chapter 13

Helaman 13:1
1 And now it came to pass in the eighty and sixth year, the
Nephites did still remain in wickedness, yea in great wickedness,
while the Lamanites did observe strictly to keep the commandments
of God, according to the law of Moses.

Helaman 13:2
2 And it came to pass that in this year there was one Samuel, a
Lamanite, came into the land of Zarahemla, and began to preach
unto the people. And it came to pass that he did preach, many
days, repentance unto the people, and they did cast him out, and
he was about to return to his own land.

Helaman 13:3
3 But behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, that he
should return again, and prophesy unto the people whatsoever

Helaman 13:4
4 And it came to pass that they would not suffer that he should

be repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, who surely
shall come into the world, and shall suffer many things and shall
be slain for his people.

Helaman 13:7
7 And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and
he did bring glad tidings to my soul. And behold, I was sent
unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad
tidings; but behold ye would not receive me.

Helaman 13:8
8 Therefore, thus saith the Lord: Because of the hardness of the
hearts of the people of the Nephites, except they repent I will
take away my word from them, and I will withdraw my Spirit from
them, and I will suffer them no longer, and I will turn the

Helaman 13:9
