to their

       relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their

       wants.

      Mosiah 4:27

       27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order;

       for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has

       strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent,

       that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must

       be done in order.

      Mosiah 4:28

       28 And I would that ye should remember, that whosoever among you

       borroweth of his neighbor should return the thing that he

       borroweth, according as he doth agree, or else thou shalt commit

       sin; and perhaps thou shalt cause thy neighbor to commit sin

       also.

      Mosiah 4:29

       29 And finally, I cannot tell you all the things whereby ye may

       commit sin; for there are divers ways and means, even so many

       that I cannot number them.

      Mosiah 4:30

       30 But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch

       yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds,

       and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of

       what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto

       the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember,

       and perish not.

      Mosiah 5 Chapter 5

      Mosiah 5:1

       1 And now, it came to pass that when king Benjamin had thus

       spoken to his people, he sent among them, desiring to know of his

       people if they believed the words which he had spoken unto them.

      Mosiah 5:2

       2 And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all

       the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of

       their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord

       Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our

       hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do

       good continually.

      Mosiah 5:3

       3 And we, ourselves, also, through the infinite goodness of God,

       and the manifestations of his Spirit, have great views of that

       which is to come; and were it expedient, we could prophesy of all

       things.

      Mosiah 5:4

       4 And it is the faith which we have had on the things which our

       king has spoken unto us that has brought us to this great

       knowledge, whereby we do rejoice with such exceedingly great joy.

      Mosiah 5:5

       5 And we are willing to enter into a covenant with our God to do

       his will, and to be obedient to his commandments in all things

       that he shall command us, all the remainder of our days, that we

       may not bring upon ourselves a never-ending torment, as has been

       spoken by the angel, that we may not drink out of the cup of the

       wrath of God.

      Mosiah 5:6

       6 And now, these are the words which king Benjamin desired of

       them; and therefore he said unto them: Ye have spoken the words

       that I desired; and the covenant which ye have made is a

       righteous covenant.

      Mosiah 5:7

       7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall

       be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters;

       for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say

       that your hearts are changed through faith on his name;

       therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his

       daughters.

      Mosiah 5:8

       8 And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other

       head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given

       whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take

       upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the

       covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your

       lives.

      Mosiah 5:9

       9 And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be

       found at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by

       which he is called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.

      Mosiah 5:10

       10 And now it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not take

       upon him the name of Christ must be called by some other name;

       therefore, he findeth himself on the left hand of God.

      Mosiah 5:11

       11 And I would that ye should remember also, that this is the

       name that I said I should give unto you that never should be

       blotted out, except it be through transgression; therefore, take

       heed that ye do not transgress, that the name be not blotted out

       of your hearts.

      Mosiah 5:12

       12 I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the

       name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the

       left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye

       shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you.

      Mosiah 5:13

       13 For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and

       who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and

       intents of his heart?

      Mosiah 5:14

       14 And again, doth a man take an ass which belongeth to his

       neighbor, and keep him? I say unto you, Nay; he will not even

       suffer that he shall feed among his flocks, but will drive him

       away, and cast him out. I say unto you, that even so shall it be

       among you if ye know not the name by which ye are called.

      Mosiah 5:15

       15 Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable,

       always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God

       Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven,

       that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through

       the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created

       all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.
