are there any conditions whereby man can be saved except the

       conditions which I have told you.

      Mosiah 4:9

       9 Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all

       things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all

       wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that

       man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can

       comprehend.

      Mosiah 4:10

       10 And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and

       forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in

       sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you

       believe all these things see that ye do them.

      Mosiah 4:11

       11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye

       have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have

       known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have

       received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly

       great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember,

       and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your

       own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you,

       unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of

       humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing

       steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was

       spoken by the mouth of the angel.

      Mosiah 4:12

       12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always

       rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a

       remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the

       glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which

       is just and true.

      Mosiah 4:13

       13 And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to

       live peaceably, and to render to every man according to that

       which is his due.

      Mosiah 4:14

       14 And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or

       naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of

       God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil,

       who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath

       been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all

       righteousness.

      Mosiah 4:15

       15 But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and

       soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve

       one another.

      Mosiah 4:16

       16 And also, ye yourselves will succor those that stand in need

       of your succor; ye will administer of your substance unto him

       that standeth in need; and ye will not suffer that the beggar

       putteth up his petition to you in vain, and turn him out to

       perish.

      Mosiah 4:17

       17 Perhaps thou shalt say: The man has brought upon himself his

       misery; therefore I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him

       of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not

       suffer, for his punishments are just—

      Mosiah 4:18

       18 But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this the same hath

       great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he

       hath done he perisheth forever, and hath no interest in the

       kingdom of God.

      Mosiah 4:19

       19 For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend

       upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we

       have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver,

       and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

      Mosiah 4:20

       20 And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on his

       name, and begging for a remission of your sins. And has he

       suffered that ye have begged in vain? Nay; he has poured out his

       Spirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled

       with joy, and has caused that your mouths should be stopped that

       ye could not find utterance, so exceedingly great was your joy.

      Mosiah 4:21

       21 And now, if God, who has created you, on whom you are

       dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are, doth

       grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right, in faith,

       believing that ye shall receive, O then, how ye ought to impart

       of the substance that ye have one to another.

      Mosiah 4:22

       22 And if ye judge the man who putteth up his petition to you

       for your substance that he perish not, and condemn him, how much

       more just will be your condemnation for withholding your

       substance, which doth not belong to you but to God, to whom also

       your life belongeth; and yet ye put up no petition, nor repent of

       the thing which thou hast done.

      Mosiah 4:23

       23 I say unto you, wo be unto that man, for his substance shall

       perish with him; and now, I say these things unto those who are

       rich as pertaining to the things of this world.

      Mosiah 4:24

       24 And again, I say unto the poor, ye who have not and yet have

       sufficient, that ye remain from day to day; I mean all you who

       deny the beggar, because ye have not; I would that ye say in your

       hearts that: I give not because I have not, but if I had I would

       give.

      Mosiah 4:25

       25 And now, if ye say this in your hearts ye remain guiltless,

       otherwise ye are condemned; and your condemnation is just for ye

       covet that which ye have not received.

      Mosiah 4:26

       26 And now, for the sake of these things which I have spoken

       unto you—that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your

       sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God—I

       would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every

       man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry,

       clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering
