And now,
if the Lamb of God,
he being holy,
should have need
to be baptized by water,
to fulfil all righteousness,
O then, how much more
need have we,
being unholy,
to be baptized,
yea, even by water!
And now,
I would ask of you,
my beloved brethren,
wherein the Lamb of God
did fulfil all righteousness
in being baptized by water?
Know ye not
that he was holy?
But notwithstanding
he being holy,
he showeth unto
the children of men
that according to the flesh
he humbleth himself
before the Father,
and witnesseth
unto the Father
that he would
be obedient unto him
in keeping
his commandments.
