4 Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads for ever, because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.
5 For I know that ye have searched much, many of you, to know of things to come;
6 Wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die;
7 Nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.
8 Yea, I know that ye know, that in the body he shall shew himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came;
9 For it is expedient that it should be among them;
10 For it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.
11 For as death has passed upon all men, to fulfill the merciful plan of the great Creator, there must needs be a power of resurrection,
12 And the resurrection must needs come unto man by reason of the fall;
13 And the fall came by reason of transgression;
14 And because man became fallen, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord;
