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.
50 And their leader being a strong and a mighty man, and a stiff- necked man, wherefore he caused a contention among them; and they were all slain, save fifty, in the wilderness, and they returned again to the land of Zarahemla.
51 And it came to pass that they also took others, to a considerable number, and took their journey again into the wilderness.
52 And I, Amaleki, had a brother, who also went with them; and I have not since known concerning them.
53 And I am about to lie down in my grave; and these plates are full.
54 And I make an end of my speaking.
