16 O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye and enter ye in at the strait gate! And continue in the way which is narrow until ye shall obtain eternal life;
17 O be wise! What can I say more?
18 Finally, I bid you farewell until I shall meet you before the pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and fear. Amen.
Jacob 5
1 And now it came to pass that after some years had passed away, there came a man among the people of Nephi whose name was Sherem.
2 And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ;
3 And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people; And this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ;
4 And he labored diligently that he might lead away the hearts of the people, insomuch that he did lead away many hearts.
5 And he knowing that I, Jacob, had faith in Christ which should come, Wherefore, he sought much opportunity that he might come unto me;
6 And he was learned, that he had a perfect knowledge of the language of the people; Wherefore, he could use much flattery and much power of speech according to the power of the devil.
7 And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwith - standing the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; For I truly had seen angels and they had ministered unto me,
8 And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word from time to time, Wherefore, I could not be shaken.
