he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you
through the endurance of faith on his name to the end.
Moroni 8:4
4 And now, my son, I speak unto you concerning that which
grieveth me exceedingly; for it grieveth me that there should
disputations rise among you.
Moroni 8:5
5 For, if I have learned the truth, there have been disputations
among you concerning the baptism of your little children.
Moroni 8:6
6 And now, my son, I desire that ye should labor diligently,
that this gross error should be removed from among you; for, for
this intent I have written this epistle.
Moroni 8:7
7 For immediately after I had learned these things of you I

Moroni 8:11
11 And their little children need no repentance, neither
