Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.

Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your
fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of
their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives,
which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
• • •
22
So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

27
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

And behold, I also thank my God, that by opening this correspondence we have been convinced of our sins, and of the many murders which we have committed.
10
And I also thank my God, yea, my great God, that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things, and also that he hath forgiven us of those our many sins and murders which we have committed, and taken away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of his Son.
11
And now behold, my brethren, since it has been all that we could do, (as we were the most lost of all mankind) to repent of all our sins and the many murders which we have committed,
and to get God to take them away from our hearts, for it was all we
could do to repent sufficiently before God that he would take away our
stain—

And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war, and they
would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which
they had committed; and they came down even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

Behold, this is wisdom in me; wherefore, marvel not, for the hour cometh
that I will drink of the fruit of the vine with you on the earth, and
with Moroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel, to whom I have committed the keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim;
6
And also with Elias, to whom I have committed
the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken by
the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the
last days;

And also Elijah, unto whom I have committed
the keys of the power of turning the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers, that the whole
earth may not be smitten with a curse;
• • •
13
Unto whom I have committed
the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last
times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together
in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;

And as ye have asked concerning adultery,
verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man receiveth a wife in the new and
everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy anointing, she hath committed adultery and shall be destroyed.
42
If she be not in the new and everlasting covenant, and she be with another man, she has committed adultery.
43
And if her husband be with another woman, and he was under a vow, he hath broken his vow and hath committed adultery.
44
And if she hath not committed adultery, but is innocent and hath not broken her vow, and she knoweth it, and I reveal it unto you, my servant Joseph, then shall you have power, by the power of my Holy Priesthood, to take her and give her unto him that hath not committed adultery but hath been faithful; for he shall be made ruler over many.

But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed
adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to
multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to
fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of
the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they
may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father
continued, that he may be glorified.
