And it is by faith that my fathers have obtained the promise that these things should come unto their brethren through the Gentiles; therefore the Lord hath commanded me, yea, even Jesus Christ.

It is by faith that my fathers got the promise that these things would come to their brothers through the Gentiles. That is why the Lord has told me to write. Jesus Christ himself has told me.

Through faith my ancestors received the promise that these things would reach their brothers through the Gentiles. That’s why the Lord commanded me—Jesus Christ himself.
