2h For, behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer, if they would repent; but if they would not repent, they must suffer even as I;

2i which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit, and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink;

2j nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men;

2k wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you by my almighty power, and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree, you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit.

2l And I command you that you preach naught but repentance, and show not these things unto the world until it is wisdom in me;

2m for they cannot bear meat now, but milk they must receive; wherefore, they must not know these things, lest they perish.

2n Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit and you shall have peace in me.

2o I am Jesus Christ; I came by the will of the Father, and I do his will.

3a And again, I command thee that thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife; nor seek thy neighbor's life.

3b And again, I command thee that thou shalt not covet thine own property, but impart it freely to the printing of the Book of Mormon, which contains the truth and the word of God.

3c which is my word to the Gentiles, that soon it may go to the Jew, of whom the Lamanites are a remnant, that they may believe the gospel, and look not for a Messiah to come who has already come.
