106 And thus they are restored into his presence; to be judged according to their works; according to the law and justice; for behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.

107 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God.

108 And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal purposes, which were prepared from the foundation of the world.

109 And thus cometh about the salvation and redemption of men, and also their destruction and misery; therefore, O my son, whosoever will come, may come, and partake of the waters of life freely;

110 And whosoever will not come, the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him, according to his deeds.

111 If he has desired to do evil, and has not repented in his days, behold evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.

112 And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things trouble you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance.

113 O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more.

114 Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point, because of your sins, by denying the justice of God, but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy, and his long suffering, have full sway in your heart; but let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

115 And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people.

116 And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them.
