with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed unto the

       church that they truly repented of all their sins.

      Moroni 6:3

       3 And none were received unto baptism save they took upon them

       the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the

       end.

      Moroni 6:4

       4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were

       wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they

       were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their

       names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by

       the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them

       continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits

       of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

      Moroni 6:5

       5 And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and

       to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.

      Moroni 6:6

       6 And they did meet together oft to partake of bread and wine,

       in remembrance of the Lord Jesus.

      Moroni 6:7

       7 And they were strict to observe that there should be no

       iniquity among them; and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and

       three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the elders,

       and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were

       blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of

       Christ.

      Moroni 6:8

       8 But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real

       intent, they were forgiven.

      Moroni 6:9

       9 And their meetings were conducted by the church after the

       manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the

       Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether

       to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to

       sing, even so it was done.

      Moroni 7 Chapter 7

      Moroni 7:1

       1 And now I, Moroni, write a few of the words of my father

       Mormon, which he spake concerning faith, hope, and charity; for

       after this manner did he speak unto the people, as he taught them

       in the synagogue which they had built for the place of worship.

      Moroni 7:2

       2 And now I, Mormon, speak unto you, my beloved brethren; and it

       is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and

       his holy will, because of the gift of his calling unto me, that I

       am permitted to speak unto you at this time.

      Moroni 7:3

       3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that

       are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a

       sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord,

       from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.

      Moroni 7:4

       4 And now my brethren, I judge these things of you because of

       your peaceable walk with the children of men.

      Moroni 7:5

       5 For I remember the word of God, which saith by their works ye

       shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good

       also.

      Moroni 7:6

       6 For behold, God hath said a man being evil cannot do that

       which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God,

       except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.

      Moroni 7:7

       7 For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.

      Moroni 7:8

       8 For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it

       grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he

       had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God.

      Moroni 7:9

       9 And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall

       pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him

       nothing, for God receiveth none such.

      Moroni 7:10

       10 Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good;

       neither will he give a good gift.

      Moroni 7:11

       11 For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water;

       neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore,

       a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if

       he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.

      Moroni 7:12

       12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that

       which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto

       God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and

       enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.

      Moroni 7:13

       13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do

       good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and

       enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is

       inspired of God.

      Moroni 7:14

       14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not

       judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and

       of God to be of the devil.

      Moroni 7:15

       15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that

       ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain,

       that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is

       from the dark night.

      Moroni 7:16

       16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that

       he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to

       judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade

       to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of

       Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of

       God.

      Moroni 7:17

       17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe

       not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know

       with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this
