manifest unto the

       brother of Jared.

      Ether 4:5

       5 Wherefore the Lord hath commanded me to write them; and I have

       written them. And he commanded me that I should seal them up;

       and he also hath commanded that I should seal up the

       interpretation thereof; wherefore I have sealed up the

       interpreters, according to the commandment of the Lord.

      Ether 4:6

       6 For the Lord said unto me: They shall not go forth unto the

       Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity,

       and become clean before the Lord.

      Ether 4:7

       7 And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith

       the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did, that they may become

       sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which

       the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my

       revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of

       the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are.

      Ether 4:8

       8 And he that will contend against the word of the Lord, let him

       be accursed; and he that shall deny these things, let him be

       accursed; for unto them will I show no greater things, saith

       Jesus Christ; for I am he who speaketh.

      Ether 4:9

       9 And at my command the heavens are opened and are shut; and at

       my word the earth shall shake; and at my command the inhabitants

       thereof shall pass away, even so as by fire.

      Ether 4:10

       10 And he that believeth not my words believeth not my

       disciples; and if it so be that I do not speak, judge ye; for ye

       shall know that it is I that speaketh, at the last day.

      Ether 4:11

       11 But he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him

       will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and he shall

       know and bear record. For because of my Spirit he shall know

       that these things are true; for it persuadeth men to do good.

      Ether 4:12

       12 And whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good is of me; for

       good cometh of none save it be of me. I am the same that leadeth

       men to all good; he that will not believe my words will not

       believe me—that I am; and he that will not believe me will not

       believe the Father who sent me. For behold, I am the Father, I

       am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world.

      Ether 4:13

       13 Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the

       greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of

       unbelief.

      Ether 4:14

       14 Come unto me, O ye house of Israel, and it shall be made

       manifest unto you how great things the Father hath laid up for

       you, from the foundation of the world; and it hath not come unto

       you, because of unbelief.

      Ether 4:15

       15 Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth

       cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and

       hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great

       and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation

       of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in

       my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye

       know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made

       unto your fathers, O house of Israel.

      Ether 4:16

       16 And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be

       written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the

       people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that

       the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very

       deed.

      Ether 4:17

       17 Therefore, when ye shall receive this record ye may know that

       the work of the Father has commenced upon all the face of the

       land.

      Ether 4:18

       18 Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me,

       and believe in my gospel, and be baptized in my name; for he that

       believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth

       not shall be damned; and signs shall follow them that believe in

       my name.

      Ether 4:19

       19 And blessed is he that is found faithful unto my name at the

       last day, for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the kingdom

       prepared for him from the foundation of the world. And behold it

       is I that hath spoken it. Amen.

      Ether 5 Chapter 5

      Ether 5:1

       1 And now I, Moroni, have written the words which were commanded

       me, according to my memory; and I have told you the things which

       I have sealed up; therefore touch them not in order that ye may

       translate; for that thing is forbidden you, except by and by it

       shall be wisdom in God.

      Ether 5:2

       2 And behold, ye may be privileged that ye may show the plates

       unto those who shall assist to bring forth this work;

      Ether 5:3

       3 And unto three shall they be shown by the power of God;

       wherefore they shall know of a surety that these things are true.

      Ether 5:4

       4 And in the mouth of three witnesses shall these things be

       established; and the testimony of three, and this work, in the

       which shall be shown forth the power of God and also his word, of

       which the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost bear

       record—and all this shall stand as a testimony against the world

       at the last day.

      Ether 5:5

       5 And if it so be that they repent and come unto the Father in

       the name of Jesus, they shall be received into the kingdom of

       God.

      Ether 5:6

       6 And now, if I have no authority for these things, judge ye;

       for ye shall know that I have authority when ye shall see me, and

       we shall stand before God at the last day. Amen.
