Ahkluo, auliyak.

Pa inkacnek se ma Pahpah El use nuh sesr ma lwelah kuht in ekuhllah, kuh furohklah, nuhnak lasr, mukwikwi lasr, ac nguhnasr nohfohn kuht in muh kuh in oacna Mwet Lahngo yohk likina met ah.²⁴ Tiac ke ma koluk yohk muhkwena tuhsruhktuh pa sie ohiyac ke sifacna liyacacng lwen nuh kwewa ac oraclah wo²⁵ ma kuh in kahsrwe kuht kuhtanglah ma koluk lasr, sesuwohs lasr, ac ma suhfal lasr.²⁶ Auliyak oruh kuht in “fahsr na pwacye tukun” Kraist, ma nwek kuhtlac ke luhngse²⁷ ac eslah sahngweng lasr.²⁸ Auliyak tiac pa plwacn sahflah fin plwacn lasr ke moul suwohs uh tiac orekma.²⁹ Auliyak pacl nuh kwewa pa inkacnek se muhkwena ma kuh in use engan ma pahtpaht nuh sesr ac lwelah kuht in fohlohk in moul yurin Pahpah tuhmasr Inkuhsrao.

In akihlen ma wo luhn God ac ma wacngihn sesr,³⁰ orekweni ke kuhiyacsr nohfohn in falseni mukwikwi lasr nuh ke ma luhngse luhn God, ³¹ use lucng kuhlwacng nuh ke moul lasr.³² Luhng kuhlwacng “pa kahsruh kuh kuh ma tuhkuh lucng me, utuckuh ke srihpen pahkotwen ac luhngse yohk luhn Jisus Kraist … in oruh orekma wo ma [kuht] sahyac ac tiac kuh in oreklac fin oruh ke kuh sifacna [lasr].”³³ Ke srihpen auliyak pwacye pa in eklac oacna Mwet Lahngo, suc ma kuht sifacna tiac kuh in oruh, kuht enenuh yohk luhng kuhlwacng luhn Mwet Lahngo in kuh in oraclah eklac enenweyuck ke moul lasr uh.

Ke kuht auliyak, kuht ahollah ohiyac mahtuh, sesuwohs, muhnahs, suhfal, ac sahngweng nuh ke ohiyac ac luhlahlfongi sasuc ma ahkfototoye kuht nuh sin Mwet Lahngo ac kahsrwe kuht in oacna El.

Ahktolu, pacptais ac kuhfa luhn Leum.

Ke akwuck luhn pacptais ac kuhfa luhn Leum, kuht olwelah in karihngihn masap luhn Pahpah ac Wen, in esam Kraist pacl nuh kwewa, ac kena in eis inen Kraist (kuh orekma ac ohiyacl³⁶) nuh facsr.³⁷ Mwet Lahngo, ke fohlohkoh, olwelah in use nuhnak muhnahs, kuh eslah, ma koluk lasr³⁸ ac “okwaclah Nguhnal in yohk nuh [facsr].”³⁹ Kraist El oacyacpac olwelah in ahkoekuhtlac nuh ke moul ma pahtpaht ke kahsrwe kuht in oacna El.⁴⁰

Doughlas D.

Akwuck ac wuhlweacng uh pa yohk srihpac emet ke mwe luti luhn Kraist. Ke kuht eis akwuck luhn pristut ke nwacsnwacs ac karihngihn wuhlweacng oasr kac, kuh ke ohiyac luhn God fah ahkkahlwemyeyuck nuh ke moul lasr uh.⁴³ Elder D. Todd Christofferson el ahkuhtweyac lah “‘kuh ke ohiyac luhn God’ se inge tuhkuh ke mwet se ke moklweyuck luhn Nguhn Muhtahl.”⁴⁴

Ahkahkosr, mwe sang luhn Nguhn Muhtahl. Tukun pacptais utuckuh nuh sesr mwe sang luhn Nguhn Muhtahl ke akwuck in ahkkweyeyucklac.⁴⁵ Mwe sang se inge, kuht fin eis, lwelah nuh sesr wi luhn God pacl nuh kwewa⁴⁶ ac kalweni in eis kuhlwacng ma tuhkuh ke srihpen moklweyuck Lal.

Ke kampihni lasr pacl nuh kwewa, Nguhn Muhtahl use nuh sesr kuh yohk in karihngihn wuhlweacng lasr uh.⁴⁷ El oacyacpac ahknwacsnwacsye kuhtlac,⁴⁸ kalmac pa in oruh kuht “sukohsohk likina ma koluk, nwacsnwacs, ac muhtahl nuh ke iwaclah luhn Jisus Kraist.”⁴⁹ Inkacnek in ahknwacsnwacsyeyucklac tiac ahknwacsnwacsye kuhtlac muhkwena, tuhsruhk use pac nuh sesr enenuh nuh ke mwe sang luhn nguhn kuh ohiyac wolacna luhn Mwet Lahngo⁵⁰ ac ekuhllah ohiyac lasr uh,⁵¹ kuht in muh kuh in “wacngihnlac ke lasr in oruh ma koluk.”⁵² Kais sie pacl kuht eis Nguhn Muhtahl nuh ke moul lasr ke luhlahlfongi, auliyak, akwuck, kuhlwacnsap oacna Kraist, ac orekma suwohs, kuht eklac ip nuh ke ip, kais kuhtuhnan kuht in oacna Kraist.⁵³

Ahklimekohsr, kampare nuh ke sahflah. Mwet pahluh Nephi el luti lah tukun kuht eis mwe sang luhn Nguhn Muhtahl, kuht enenuh in “muhtweng ne ke sahflah, ke mwe srihkasrak tahklac luhn Wen nuhtin God moul.”⁵⁴ Elder Dale G.

Ke kuht oruh, kuht eklac in oacna Kraist yohk likina met ah ac kuh in kampare nuh ke sahflah, ke ma nuh kwewa ma enenweyuck.”⁵⁵

Ke kahs sahyac, eisyacn Nguhn Muhtahl ac eklac ke eisyac sacn oruh kuht in ahkfokokoye luhlahlfongi lasr. Luhlahlfongi yohkwaclihk kol nuh ke sifilpac auliyak.

In eis Nguhn Muhtahl yohk likina met ah pahtok kuht nuh ke inkacnek in sifilpac isuslac. Ke kuht kalweni ke ohiyac se inge ac eis akwuck ac wuhlweacng in molwelah nohfohn ke wosasuc uh, kuht eis “kuhlwacng nuh ke kuhlwacng” nuh ke kuht eis fohnlah la uh.⁵⁶
