 After Jared's brother saw the Lord's finger, because of the promise he had obtained by faith, the Lord could not withhold anything from his sight. This is why the Lord showed him all things and could not keep him outside the veil.

It is by faith in Christ that my forefathers have obtained the promise that this record will come to their brethren (the Lamanites) through the Gentiles. This is why the Lord Jesus Christ has commanded me to make this record.

But I, Moroni, said to Him, "Lord, the Gentiles will mock at our poor writing, for Thou has made our people powerful speakers, because of our faith and the Holy Ghost that Thou has given to us. But Thou has not made our writing powerful.

 * "Fools mock, but they will mourn, and my grace is sufficient for the meek who will not take advantage of your weakness.


 * To those who come to me, I will show them their weakness. I give people weaknesses to humble them.
