of Christ unto the church; and they administered it
according to the commandments of Christ; wherefore we know the
manner to be true; and the elder or priest did minister it--
Moroni 4:2
2 And they did kneel down with the church, and pray to the
Father in the name of Christ, saying:
Moroni 4:3
3 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son,
Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of
all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of
the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal
Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy
Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he
hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with
them. Amen.

Moroni 5:1
1 The manner of administering the wine--Behold, they took the
cup, and said:
Moroni 5:2
2 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee, in the name of thy
Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls
of all those who drink of it, that they may do it in remembrance
of the blood of thy Son, which was shed for them; that they may
witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always
remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them.
Amen.

Chapter 6
Moroni 6:1
1 And now I speak concerning baptism. Behold, elders, priests,
and teachers were baptized; and they were not baptized save they
brought forth fruit meet that they were worthy of it.
Moroni 6:2
2 Neither did they receive any unto baptism save they came forth
with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed unto the
church that they truly repented of all their sins.
Moroni 6:3
3 And none were received unto baptism save they took upon them
the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the
end.
Moroni 6:4
4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were
wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they
were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their
names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by
the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them
continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits
of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.
Moroni 6:5
5 And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and
to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.
Moroni
