I know that thou art redeemed,
because of
the righteousness of thy Redeemer;
for thou hast beheld
that in the fulness of time
he cometh
to bring salvation unto men.
And thou hast beheld
in thy youth
his glory;
wherefore, thou art blessed
even as they
unto whom he shall minister
in the flesh;
for the Spirit is the same,
yesterday, today, and forever.
And the way is prepared
from the fall of man,
and salvation is free.
Wherefore, redemption cometh
in and through
the Holy Messiah;
for he is full of grace and truth.
Behold, he offereth himself
a sacrifice for sin,
to answer the ends of the law,
unto all those
who have a broken heart and
a contrite spirit.
Wherefore, how great the importance
to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth,
that they may know that
there is no flesh
that can dwell in the presence of God,
save it be through
the merits, and mercy, and grace of
the Holy Messiah,
who layeth down his life
according to the flesh,
and taketh it again
by the power of the Spirit,
that he may bring to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
being the first that should rise.
Wherefore,
he is the firstfruits unto God,
inasmuch as
he shall make intercession
for all the children of men;
and they that believe in him
shall be saved.
And because of
the intercession for all,
all men come unto God;
wherefore, they stand
in the presence of him,
to be judged of him
according to
the truth and holiness
which is in him.
