And again: Thou shalt not bow down thyself tiito them, nor serve them: {or | the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniguities of the fathers upen the children, unto the third and fourth eenera- tions of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thov_ sands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.— Z ; y> Sf Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy Ged in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember, thesabbath-day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day, the sabbath of the Lord ‘thy God, thou shalt not do any work, ‘hou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy anaid-servani, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is; wherefore the Lord blessed the wabbath-day, and hallowed it. “Honor thy father and tly mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not dear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wile, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servayt, nor his /ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s. } / / CHAPTER VIII. Anp it came to pass that after Abinadi hy ot cometh by the law aire ca made an end of of Moses. I say and were it not for the atonement which God him- and of ordinances, a law which they were to observe strictly, from day to day, to keep them in remembrance of God, and ther duty towards him. But behold, 1 say unto you, that all these things were types of things tocome. And now, did they understand the law? I say unto you, Nay, they did not all un- derstand the law; and this because of the hardness of their hearts: for they understood not that there could not any man be saved, except it were through the redemption of God. For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the COMM, af the Messiah, and that God should redeem his peo-, ple, yea, and even all the prophets which have prophesied ver since the world began? Have they not spoken moré_ory lesg concerning these things? /Have they not said that Ged’ himself should come down among the children of men, and ake upon him the form of man, and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth 2 Yea, and have they not said also, | that he should bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, and! that he, himself. should be oppressed and afflicted ?,Yea, even “oth not Isaiah say, Who hath believed our report, and to for he shall grow S hath ho form nor comeliness ; and when to keep these commandments? | say unto you, Nay; {or u ye had, the Lord would not have caused-me to come forth and to prophesy evil concerning this people. And now ye have that salvation law alone; self shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses. And now I say unto you, that it was expedient that there should be a law given to the children of Israel, yea, even a very strict law : for they were a stiffmecked people, quick to do iniquity, and slow to remember the Lord their God; therelore there.was a law gives ihem, yea, a law of perfurmances up éfore him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground:/ these sayings, that he said unto them, Have ye taught this people that they should observe to do all these things ? For said shall no more be expedient to keep the law of Moses. And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth mot come by the whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
