Moroni 9:25
1830 Edition
My son, be faithful in Christ; and may not the things which I have written, grieve thee, to weigh thee down unto death, but may Christ lift thee up, and may his sufferings and death, and the shewing his body unto our fathers, and his mercy and long suffering, and the hope of his glory and of eternal life, rest in your mind forever.

My son, be faithful in Christ. Do not let the things I have written make you so sad that you die. Let Christ lift you up. Think about his suffering and death. Think about how he showed his body to our fathers. Think about his mercy and patience. Think about the hope of his glory and eternal life. Keep these things in your mind forever.

My son, stay faithful to Christ. Don’t let what I’ve written crush you or drag you down to despair. Let Christ lift you up. Let his suffering and death, the way he appeared to our ancestors, his mercy and patience, the hope of his glory and eternal life—let all of this rest in your mind forever.
