1But the great mercy of the Lord had compassion on you and your family, and will strengthen you and establish you in his glory.
2Only do not be negligent, but take courage and strengthen your family. As the smith, hammering his work, performs the task he desires.
3So also the righteous word spoken daily overcomes all wickedness. Do not cease to admonish them.
4For I know that if they repent with all their heart, they will be written in the books of life with the saints.
