44 And believe in prophesying, and in revelations, and in the ministering of angels, and in the gift of speaking with tongues, and in the gift of interpreting languages, and in all things which are good:

46 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption.

47 Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth, ye will be saved.

48 And now, I would speak somewhat concerning a certain number who went up into the wilderness, to return to the land of Nephi:

49 For there was a large number who were desirous to possess the land of their inheritance; wherefore, they went up into the wilderness.

53 And I am about to lie down in my grave; and these plates are full.
