13. And now, my children, I

‹ Section 12 Section 14 ›

command

you

that

ye

fear

our

Lord

with

your

whole

heart

,

and

walk

in

simplicity

according

to

all

His

law

.

And

do

ye

also

teach

your

children

learning

,

that

they

may

have

understanding

in

all

their

life

,

reading

unceasingly

the

law

of

God

;

for

every

one

who

shall

know

the

law

of

God

shall

be

honoured

,

and

shall

not

be

a

stranger

wheresoever

he

goeth

.

Yea

,

many

friends

shall

he

gain

more

than

his

forefathers

;

and

many

men

shall

desire

to

serve

him

,

and

to

hear

the

law

from

his

mouth

.

Work

righteousness

,

my

children

,

upon

the

earth

,

that

ye

may

find

treasure

in

the

heavens

,

and

sow

good

things

in

your

souls

,

that

ye

may

find

them

in

your

life

.

For

if

ye

sow

evil

things

,

ye

shall

reap

all

trouble

and

affliction

.

Get

wisdom

in

the

fear

of

God

with

diligence

;

for

though

there

shall

be

a

leading

into

captivity

,

and

cities

be

destroyed

,

and

lands

and

gold

and

silver

and

every

possession

shall

perish

,

the

wisdom

of

the

wise

none

can

take

away

,

save

the

blindness

of

ungodliness

and

the

palsy

of

sin

:

for

even

among

his

enemies

shall

it

be

to

him

glorious

,

and

in

a

strange

country

a

home

,

and

in

the

midst

of

foes

shall

it

be

found

a

friend

.

If

a

man

teach

these

things

and

do

them

,

he

shall

be

enthroned

with

kings

,

as

was

also

Joseph

our

brother

.
