14 Therefore blessed are ye if ye shall keep my commandments,
which the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you.
3 Nephi 18:15
15 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray
always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be led away
captive by him.
3 Nephi 18:16
16 And as I have prayed among you even so shall ye pray in my
church, among my people who do repent and are baptized in my
name. Behold I am the light; I have set an example for you.
3 Nephi 18:17
17 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words
unto his disciples, he turned again unto the multitude and said
unto them:
3 Nephi 18:18
18 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and
pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat.
3 Nephi 18:19
19 Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;
3 Nephi 18:20
20 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is
right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given
unto you.
3 Nephi 18:21
21 Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name,
that your wives and your children may be blessed.
3 Nephi 18:22
22 And behold, ye shall meet together oft; and ye shall not
forbid any man from coming unto you when ye shall meet together,
but suffer them that they may come unto you and forbid them not;
3 Nephi 18:23
23 But ye shall pray for them, and shall not cast them out; and
if it so be that they come unto you oft ye shall pray for them
unto the Father, in my name.
3 Nephi 18:24
24 Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the
world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which
ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the
Father, and ye all have witnessed.
3 Nephi 18:25
25 And ye see that I have commanded that none of you should go
away, but rather have commanded that ye should come unto me, that
ye might feel and see; even so shall ye do unto the world; and
whosoever breaketh this commandment suffereth himself to be led
into temptation.
3 Nephi 18:26
26 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these
words, he turned his eyes again upon the disciples whom he had
chosen, and said unto them:
3 Nephi 18:27
27 Behold verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you
another commandment, and then I must go unto my Father that I may
fulfil other commandments which he hath given me.
3 Nephi 18:28
28 And now behold, this is the commandment which I give unto
you, that ye shall not suffer any one knowingly to partake of my
flesh and blood unworthily, when ye shall minister it;
3 Nephi 18:29
29 For whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily
eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul; therefore if ye know
that a man is unworthy to eat and drink of my flesh and blood ye
shall forbid him.
3 Nephi 18:30
30 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out from among you, but
ye shall minister unto him and shall pray for him unto the
Father, in my name; and if it so be that he repenteth and is
baptized in my name, then shall ye receive him, and shall
minister unto him of my flesh and blood.
3 Nephi 18:31
31 But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my
people, that he may not destroy my people, for behold I know my
sheep, and they are numbered.
3 Nephi 18:32
32 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues,
or your places of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to
minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent,
and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I shall heal
them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto them.
3 Nephi 18:33
33 Therefore, keep these sayings which I have commanded you that
ye come not under condemnation; for wo unto him whom the Father
condemneth.
3 Nephi 18:34
34 And I give you these commandments because of the disputations
which have been among you. And blessed are ye if ye have no
disputations among you.
3 Nephi 18:35
35 And now I go unto the Father, because it is expedient that I
should go unto the Father for your sakes.
3 Nephi 18:36
36 And it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of these
sayings, he touched with his hand the disciples whom he had
chosen, one by one, even until he had touched them all, and spake
unto them as he touched them.
3 Nephi 18:37
37 And the multitude heard not the words which he spake,
therefore they did not bear record; but the disciples bare record
that he gave them power to give the Holy Ghost. And I will show
unto you hereafter that this record is true.
3 Nephi 18:38
38 And it came to pass that when Jesus had touched them all,
there came a cloud and overshadowed the multitude that they could
not see Jesus.
3 Nephi 18:39
39 And while they were overshadowed he departed from them, and
ascended into heaven. And the disciples saw and did bear record
that he ascended again into heaven.
3 Nephi 19 Chapter 19
3 Nephi 19:1
1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ascended into
heaven,
