116 Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; and are they few?

117 I say unto you, Nay, they are many; yea, and we can witness of their sincerity, because of their love towards their brethren, and also towards us.

118 For behold, they had rather sacrifice their lives than even to take the life of their enemy; and they have buried their weapons of war deep in the earth, because of their love towards their brethren.

119 And now behold I say unto you, Has there been so great love in all the land?

120 Behold, I say unto you, Nay, there has not, even among the Nephites.

121 For behold, they would take up arms against their brethren; they would not suffer themselves to be slain.

122 But behold, how many of these have laid down their lives, and we know that they have gone to their God, because of their love, and of their hatred to sin.

123 Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began:

124 Yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.

125 Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo.

126 Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of the tree of Israel, and has been lost from its body, in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who has been mindful of us wanderers in a strange land.
