se things, notwithstanding my weakness.
2 Nephi 33:12
12 And I pray the Father in the name of Christ that many of us,
if not all, may be saved in his kingdom at that great and last
day.
2 Nephi 33:13
13 And now, my beloved brethren, all those who are of the house
of Israel, and all ye ends of the earth, I speak unto you as the
voice of one crying from the dust: Farewell until that great day
shall come.
2 Nephi 33:14
14 And you that will not partake of the goodness of God, and
respect the words of the Jews, and also my words, and the words
which shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the Lamb of God,
behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell, for these words shall
condemn you at the last day.
2 Nephi 33:15
15 For what I seal on earth, shall be brought against you at the
judgment bar; for thus hath the Lord commanded me, and I must
obey. Amen.

The words of his preaching unto his brethren. He confoundeth a
man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of Christ. A few words

Jacob 1
Chapter 1
Jacob 1:1
1 For behold, it came to pass that fifty and five years had
passed away from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem; wherefore,

Jacob 1:2
2 And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment that I should write upon
these plates a few of the things which I consider to be most
precious; that I should not touch, save it were lightly,
concerning the history of this people which are called the people
of Nephi.
Jacob 1:3
3 For he said that the history of his people should be engraven
upon his other plates, and that I should preserve these plates
and hand them down unto my seed, from generation to generation.
Jacob 1:4
4 And if there were preaching which was sacred, or revelation
which was great, or prophesying, that I should engraven the heads
of them upon these plates, and touch upon them as much as it were
possible, for Christ's sake, and for the sake of our people.
Jacob 1:5
5 For because of faith and great anxiety, it truly had been made
manifest unto us concerning our people, what things should happen
unto them.
Jacob 1:6

prophecy; wherefore, we knew of Christ and his kingdom, which
should come.
Jacob 1:7
7 Wherefore we labored diligently
