GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
REPENT, REPENTANCE
See also Atone, Atonement; Broken Heart; Confess, Confession; Forgive; Jesus
Christ; Remission of Sins

A change of mind and heart that brings a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and
life in general. Repentance implies that a person turns away from evil and turns
his heart and will to God, submitting to God’s commandments and desires and
forsaking sin. True repentance comes from a love for God and a sincere desire to
obey his commandments. All accountable persons have sinned and must repent in
order to progress toward salvation. Only through the atonement of Jesus Christ
can our repentance become effective and accepted by God.

1 Ne. 1: 4
4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of
bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all
his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto
the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be
destroyed.



1 Ne. 1: 4-20
4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of
bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all
his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto
the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be
destroyed.

5 Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto
the Lord, yea, even with all his aheart•, in behalf of his people.

6 And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord, there came a apillar• of fire
and dwelt upon a rock before him; and he saw and heard much; and because of the
things which he saw and heard he did bquake• and tremble exceedingly.

7 And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at Jerusalem; and he
cast himself upon his bed, being aovercome• with the Spirit and the things which
he had seen.

8 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a avision•,
even that he saw the bheavens• open, and he thought he csaw God sitting upon his
throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of
singing and praising their God.

9 And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and
he beheld that his aluster• was above that of the sun at noon-day.

10 And he also saw atwelve others following him, and their brightness did exceed
that of the stars in the firmament.

11 And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth; and the first
came and astood• before my father, and gave unto him a bbook•, and bade him that
he should read.

12 And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the aSpirit• of the
Lord.

13 And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I have seen thine
aabominations•! Yea, and many things did my father read concerning
bJerusalem•—that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof; many
should perish by the sword, and many should be ccarried• away captive into
Babylon.

14 And it came to pass that when my father had read and seen many great and
marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as: Great and
marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens,
and thy apower, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the
earth; and, because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who bcome•
unto thee that they shall perish!

15 And after this manner was the language of my father in the praising of his
God; for his soul did rejoice, and his whole heart was filled, because of the
things which he had seen, yea, which the Lord had shown unto him.

16 And now I, Nephi, do not make a full account of the things which my father
hath written, for he hath written many things which he saw in avisions• and in
bdreams•; and he also hath written many things which he cprophesied• and spake
unto his children, of which I shall not make a full account.

17 But I shall make an account of my proceedings in my days. Behold, I make an
aabridgment• of the record of my bfather•, upon cplates• which I have made with
mine own hands; wherefore, after I have abridged the record of my dfather• then
will I make an account of mine own life.

18 Therefore, I would that ye should know, that after the Lord had shown so many
marvelous things unto my father, Lehi, yea, concerning the adestruction• of
Jerusalem, behold he went forth among the people, and began to bprophesy and to
declare unto them concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.

19 And it came to pass that the aJews did bmock• him because of the things which
he testified of them; for he truly testified of their cwickedness• and their
abominations; and he testified that the things which he saw and heard, and also
the things which he read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of a
dMessiah, and also the redemption of the world.

20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as
with the prophets of old, whom they had acast• out, and stoned, and slain; and
they also bsought• his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi,
will show unto you that the tender cmercies• of the Lord are over all those whom
he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power
of ddeliverance.

18 For he is the asame• yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the way is prepared

28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in

2 Ne. 2: 21
21 And the days of the children of amen• were prolonged, according to the bwill
of God, that they might crepent• while in the flesh; wherefore, their state
became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the
commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave
commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were
elost•, because of the transgression of their parents.



2 Ne. 26: 27
27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his asalvation? Behold
I say unto you, Nay; but he hath bgiven• it free for all men; and he hath
commanded his people that they should persuade all men to crepentance.



2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the
acovenant• people of the Lord; and as many of the bJews• as will not repent
shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them
that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.



Jacob 3: 3
3 But, wo, wo, unto you that are not pure in heart, that are filthy this day
before God; for except ye repent the land is acursed for your sakes; and the
Lamanites, which are not bfilthy like unto you, nevertheless they are ccursed•
with a sore cursing, shall scourge you even unto destruction.



Mosiah 2: 38
38 Therefore if that man arepenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an enemy to
God, the demands of divine bjustice do awaken his immortal soul to a lively
sense of his own cguilt•, which doth cause him to shrink from the dpresence of
the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and epain, and fanguish, which is
like an unquenchable gfire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever.



Mosiah 26: 29
29 Therefore I say unto you, Go; and whosoever transgresseth against me, him
shall ye ajudge baccording to the sins which he has committed; and if he
cconfess• his sins before thee and me, and drepenteth in the sincerity of his
heart, him shall ye eforgive, and I will forgive him also.

24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been aredeemed• of the
Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.

31 Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the atime is at hand that he

49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea,
to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the
land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I
say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea,
to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.



Alma 5: 49-56
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea,
to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the
land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I
say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea,
to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.

50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom
of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his aglory•, in his
might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you,
that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the bKing• of all the earth; and also
the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.

51 And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a mighty voice,
saying: Go forth and say unto this people—Repent, for except ye repent ye can in
nowise inherit the akingdom of bheaven.

52 And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the aax• is laid at the
root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall
be bhewn• down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed,
even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.

53 And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings;
yea, can ye lay aside these things, and atrample the Holy One under your feet;
yea, can ye be bpuffed• up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still
persist in the wearing of ccostly• apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain
things of the world, upon your driches•?

54 Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another; yea,
will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who humble themselves and
do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith they have been brought into this
church, having been asanctified by the Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth
works which are meet for repentance—

55 Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the apoor•, and the
needy, and in withholding your substance from them?

56 And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say unto you that
these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire except they
speedily repent.



Alma 7: 13-16
13 Now the Spirit aknoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth
according to the bflesh that he might ctake• upon him the sins of his people,
that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his
deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

14 Now I say unto you that ye must arepent, and be born again; for the Spirit
saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven;
therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your
sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the
world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.

15 Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily
doth abeset• you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go
forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and
enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him
this day by going into the waters of baptism.

16 And whosoever doeth this, and keepeth the commandments of God from
thenceforth, the same will aremember• that I say unto him, yea, he will remember
that I have said unto him, he shall have eternal life, according to the
testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.



Alma 6: 2
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who arepented
of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.



Alma 7: 9
9 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this
people, saying—aRepent• ye, and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his
paths, which are straight; for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the
Son of God bcometh• upon the face of the earth.



Alma 9: 12
12 Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent; and except ye
repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. But behold, this is not
all—he has commanded you to repent, or he will utterly adestroy• you from off
the face of the earth; yea, he will visit you in his banger•, and in his
cfierce• anger he will not turn away.



Alma 12: 24
24 And we see that adeath comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been
spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space
granted unto bman• in which he might repent; therefore this life became a
cprobationary• state; a time to dprepare• to meet God; a time to prepare for
that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the
resurrection of the dead.



Alma 13: 10
10 Now, as I said concerning the holy order, or this ahigh• priesthood, there
were many who were ordained and became high priests of God; and it was on
account of their exceeding bfaith and crepentance, and their righteousness
before God, they choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to
perish;



Alma 13: 18
18 But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the office of the
high priesthood according to the aholy order of God, did preach repentance unto
his people. And behold, they did repent; and Melchizedek did establish peace in
the land in his days; therefore he was called the prince of peace, for he was
the king of Salem; and he did reign under his father.



Alma 26: 22
22 Yea, he that arepenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good bworks,
and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the
cmysteries• of God; yea, unto such it shall be dgiven• to ereveal• things which
never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring
thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring
these our brethren to repentance.



Alma 29: 1
1 O THAT I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go
forth and speak with the atrump• of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and
cry repentance unto every people!



Alma 32: 13
13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man
sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh arepentance; and now surely,
whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and bendureth•
to the end the same shall be saved.



Alma 34: 33
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses,
therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not bprocrastinate• the day of your
crepentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to
prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,
then cometh the dnight• of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.



Alma 42: 22
22 But there is a law given, and a apunishment affixed, and a brepentance
granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the
creature and executeth the claw•, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not
so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.



Alma 42: 29
29 And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things atrouble• you no
more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring
you down unto repentance.



Hel. 5: 11
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their
sins because of repentance; therefore he hath asent• his angels to declare the
tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the
Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.



Hel. 5: 41
41 And Aminadab said unto them: You must arepent, and cry unto the voice, even
until ye shall have bfaith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and
cAmulek•, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be
removed from overshadowing you.



Hel. 12: 23
23 Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the
Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved.



3 Ne. 7: 24
24 Now I would have you to remember also, that there were none who were brought
unto arepentance who were not baptized with water.



3 Ne. 9: 2
2 Wo, wo, wo unto this people; wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except
they shall arepent; for the devil blaugheth•, and his angels rejoice, because of
the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people; and it is because of
their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen!



3 Ne. 9: 22
22 Therefore, whoso arepenteth and cometh unto me bas• a clittle• child, him
will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have
dlaid• down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto
me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.



3 Ne. 23: 5
5 And whosoever will hearken unto my words and repenteth and is baptized, the
same shall be saved. Search the aprophets•, for many there be that testify of
these things.



3 Ne. 27: 16
16 And it shall come to pass, that whoso arepenteth and is baptized in my bname
shall be filled; and if he cendureth• to the end, behold, him will I hold
guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.



D&C 18: 41
41 And you must preach unto the world, saying: You must arepent and be baptized,
in the name of Jesus Christ;



D&C 20: 29
29 And we know that all men must arepent and bbelieve• on the name of Jesus
Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and cendure in dfaith on his name to
the end, or they cannot be esaved in the kingdom of God.



D&C 49: 13
13 aRepent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, according to the holy
commandment, for the remission of sins;



3 Ne. 30: 2
2 Turn, all ye aGentiles•, from your wicked ways; and brepent of your evil
doings, of your clyings• and deceivings, and of your whoredoms, and of your
secret abominations, and your idolatries, and of your dmurders•, and your
epriestcrafts, and your fenvyings, and your strifes, and from all your
wickedness and abominations, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, that
ye may receive a remission of your sins, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, that
ye may be gnumbered• with my people who are of the house of Israel.



Ether 2: 11
11 And this cometh unto you, O ye aGentiles•, that ye may know the decrees of
God—that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness
come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the bwrath• of God upon you as
the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.



Moro. 8: 24
24 Behold, my son, this thing ought not to be; for arepentance is unto them that
are under condemnation and under the curse of a broken law.



Moro. 9: 3
3 And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people;
for they do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to aanger one
with another.



D&C 1: 27
27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be achastened, that they might
brepent;



D&C 1: 32
32 Nevertheless, he that arepents and does the bcommandments• of the Lord shall
be cforgiven•;



D&C 5: 19
19 For a desolating ascourge• shall go forth among the inhabitants of the earth,
and shall continue to be poured out from time to time, if they brepent not,
until the earth is cempty•, and the inhabitants thereof are dconsumed• away and
utterly destroyed by the brightness of my ecoming•.



D&C 6: 9
9 Say nothing but arepentance• unto this generation; keep my commandments, and
assist to bring forth my work, according to my commandments, and you shall be
blessed.



D&C 11: 9
9 aSay• nothing but brepentance unto this generation. Keep my commandments, and
assist to bring forth my cwork, daccording• to my commandments, and you shall be
blessed.



D&C 13: 1
1 UPON you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I aconfer• the
bPriesthood• of Aaron, which holds the ckeys• of the ministering of dangels, and
of the gospel of erepentance•, and of fbaptism by immersion for the remission of
sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of
gLevi• do offer again an offering unto the Lord in hrighteousness.



D&C 84: 27
27 Which agospel• is the gospel of brepentance and of cbaptism, and the
dremission of sins, and the elaw of fcarnal• commandments, which the Lord in his
wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel
until gJohn•, whom God raised up, being hfilled• with the Holy Ghost from his
mother’s womb.



D&C 16: 6
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most
worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may
bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father.
Amen.



D&C 14: 8
8 And it shall come to pass, that if you shall ask the Father in my name, in
faith abelieving•, you shall receive the bHoly• Ghost, which cgiveth utterance,
that you may stand as a dwitness• of the things of which you shall both ehear•
and see, and also that you may declare frepentance unto this generation.



D&C 15: 6
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most
worth unto you will be to adeclare• brepentance unto this people, that you may
bring csouls unto me, that you may drest with them in the ekingdom of my
fFather. Amen.



D&C 18: 13
13 And how great is his ajoy• in the bsoul that crepenteth!



D&C 19: 4
4 And surely every man must arepent or bsuffer•, for I, God, am cendless•.



D&C 20: 71
71 No one can be received into the church of Christ unless he has arrived unto
the years of aaccountability• before God, and is capable of brepentance.



D&C 29: 42
42 But, behold, I say unto you that I, the Lord God, gave unto Adam and unto his
seed, that they should not adie• as to the temporal death, until I, the Lord
God, should send forth bangels• to declare unto them crepentance and
dredemption, through faith on the name of mine eOnly Begotten Son.



D&C 29: 49
49 And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded
to arepent?



D&C 42: 28
28 Thou knowest my laws concerning these things are given in my scriptures; he
that sinneth and arepenteth not shall be bcast out.



D&C 58: 42
42 Behold, he who has arepented of his bsins•, the same is cforgiven•, and I,
the Lord, remember them no more.



D&C 58: 43
43 By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will aconfess•
them and bforsake• them.



D&C 64: 12
12 And him that arepenteth not of his sins, and bconfesseth them not, ye shall
bring before the cchurch•, and do with him as the dscripture• saith unto you,
either by commandment or by revelation.



D&C 68: 25
25 And again, inasmuch as aparents have children in Zion, or in any of her
bstakes which are organized, that cteach• them not to understand the ddoctrine•
of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the
gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eeight• years old,
the fsin• be upon the heads of the parents.



D&C 98: 21
21 Verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will achasten• them and will do
whatsoever I list, if they do not repent and observe all things whatsoever I
have said unto them.



D&C 138: 19
19 And there he apreached• to them the everlasting bgospel, the doctrine of the
cresurrection• and the redemption of mankind from the dfall, and from individual
sins on conditions of erepentance.



D&C 138: 25
25 I marveled, for I understood that the Savior spent about three years in his
aministry among the Jews and those of the house of Israel, endeavoring to bteach
them the everlasting gospel and call them unto repentance;



D&C 138: 31
31 And the chosen messengers went forth to declare the aacceptable• day of the
Lord and proclaim bliberty to the captives who were bound, even unto all who
would crepent of their sins and receive the gospel.



D&C 138: 58
58 The dead who arepent will be redeemed, through obedience to the bordinances•
of the house of God,



Moses 5: 8
8 Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the aname• of the Son, and
thou shalt brepent• and ccall upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.



Moses 6: 57
57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must
arepent•, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no bunclean•
thing can dwell there, or cdwell• in his dpresence; for, in the language of
Adam, eMan• of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the
fSon• of Man, even gJesus Christ, a righteous hJudge, who shall come in the
meridian of time.



Moses 8: 20
20 And it came to pass that Noah called upon the children of men that they
should arepent•; but they hearkened not unto his words;



Ex. 22: 1
1 IF a man shall asteal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall
brestore five oxen for an ox, and cfour• sheep for a sheep.



Lam. 3: 40
40 Let us asearch• and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.



Ezek. 6: 9
9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they
shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which
hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a awhoring• after their
idols: and they shall blothe themselves for the cevils• which they have
committed in all their abominations.



Luke 15: 17
17 And when he acame• to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my

James 4: 8
8 aDraw bnigh• to God, and he will draw nigh to you. cCleanse your hands, ye
sinners; and dpurify your hearts, ye double minded.



2 Ne. 3: 20
20 And they shall acry• from the bdust; yea, even repentance unto their
brethren, even after many generations have gone by them. And it shall come to
pass that their cry shall go, even according to the simpleness of their words.



2 Ne. 10: 20
20 And now, my beloved brethren, seeing that our merciful God has given us so
great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember him, and lay aside our
sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off; nevertheless, we
have been adriven• out of the land of our inheritance; but we have been led to a
bbetter• land, for the Lord has made the sea our cpath•, and we are upon an
disle• of the sea.



Enos 1: 2
2 And I will tell you of the awrestle• which I had before God, before I received
a bremission of my sins.



Hel. 14: 13
13 And if ye abelieve• on his name ye will repent of all your sins, that thereby
ye may have a remission of them through his bmerits•.


For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of
bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all
his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto
the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be
destroyed.



1 Ne. 10: 18
18 For he is the asame• yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the way is prepared
for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and
come unto him.



1 Ne. 14: 5
5 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying: Thou hast
beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be awell• with them; and thou also
knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto the house of Israel; and thou
also hast heard that whoso brepenteth not must perish.



1 Ne. 18: 20
20 And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them
with destruction, could soften their ahearts; wherefore, when they saw that they
were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea they repented of the
thing which they had done, insomuch that they loosed me.



1 Ne. 22: 28
28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in
the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will arepent.



2 Ne. 2: 21
21 And the days of the children of amen• were prolonged, according to the bwill
of God, that they might crepent• while in the flesh; wherefore, their state
became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the
commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave
commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were
elost•, because of the transgression of their parents.



2 Ne. 2: 21
21 And the days of the children of amen• were prolonged, according to the bwill
of God, that they might crepent• while in the flesh; wherefore, their state
became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the

commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were
elost•, because of the transgression of their parents.



2 Ne. 31: 11
11 And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye, and be baptized in the name of my
Beloved Son.



Alma 9: 12
12 Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent; and except ye
repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. But behold, this is not
all—he has commanded you to repent, or he will utterly adestroy• you from off
the face of the earth; yea, he will visit you in his banger•, and in his
cfierce• anger he will not turn away.



3 Ne. 11: 32
32 And this is my adoctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given
unto me; and I bear brecord• of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me,
and the cHoly• Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that
the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me.



2 Ne. 6: 12
12 And blessed are the aGentiles•, they of whom the prophet has written; for
behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not against Zion, and do
not unite themselves to that great and babominable church, they shall be saved;
for the Lord God will fulfil his ccovenants which he has made unto his children;
and for this cause the prophet has written these things.



2 Ne. 9: 23
23 And he commandeth all men that they must arepent, and be bbaptized• in his
name, having perfect cfaith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved
in the kingdom of God.



2 Ne. 26: 27
27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his asalvation? Behold
I say unto you, Nay; but he hath bgiven• it free for all men; and he hath
commanded his people that they should persuade all men to crepentance.



2 Ne. 28: 19
19 For the kingdom of the devil must ashake•, and they which belong to it must
needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the bdevil• will grasp them with his
everlasting cchains•, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;



2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the
acovenant• people of the Lord; and as many of the bJews• as will not repent
shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them
that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.



3 Ne. 16: 13
13 But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold
they shall be anumbered• among my people, O house of Israel.



2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the
acovenant• people of the Lord; and as many of the bJews• as will not repent
shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them
that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.



2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the

shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them
that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.



2 Ne. 31: 13
13 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall afollow the Son, with
full purpose of heart, acting no bhypocrisy and no deception before God, but
with real cintent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye
are dwilling to take upon you the ename of Christ, by fbaptism•—yea, by
following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word,
behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the gbaptism of
fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the htongue• of angels,
and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.



2 Ne. 31: 17
17 Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen that your Lord and
your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause have they been shown unto me, that
ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should
enter is repentance and abaptism• by water; and then cometh a bremission of your
sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.



Jacob 3: 3
3 But, wo, wo, unto you that are not pure in heart, that are filthy this day
before God; for except ye repent the land is acursed for your sakes; and the
Lamanites, which are not bfilthy like unto you, nevertheless they are ccursed•
with a sore cursing, shall scourge you even unto destruction.



Mosiah 2: 38
38 Therefore if that man arepenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an enemy to
God, the demands of divine bjustice do awaken his immortal soul to a lively
sense of his own cguilt•, which doth cause him to shrink from the dpresence of
the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and epain, and fanguish, which is
like an unquenchable gfire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever.



Mosiah 3: 12
12 But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he arebelleth• against God! For
salvation cometh to none such except it be through repentance and faith on the
bLord Jesus Christ.



Mosiah 3: 21
21 And behold, when that time cometh, none shall be found ablameless• before
God, except it be little children, only through repentance and faith on the name
of the Lord God Omnipotent.



Mosiah 4: 10
10 And again, believe that ye must arepent of your sins and forsake them, and
humble yourselves before God; and ask in bsincerity of heart that he would
cforgive• you; and now, if you dbelieve• all these things see that ye edo• them.



Mosiah 4: 18
18 But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this the same hath great cause to
repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done he perisheth forever,
and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.



Mosiah 18: 20
20 Yea, even he commanded them that they should apreach nothing save it were
repentance and faith on the Lord, who had redeemed his people.



Mosiah 26: 29
29 Therefore I say unto you, Go; and whosoever transgresseth against me, him
shall ye ajudge baccording to the sins which he has committed; and if he
cconfess• his sins before thee and me, and drepenteth in the sincerity of his
heart, him shall ye eforgive, and I will forgive him also.



Mosiah 26: 35-36
35 And whosoever repented of their sins and did aconfess them, them he did
number among the people of the church;

36 And those that would not confess their sins and repent of their iniquity, the
same were not numbered among the people of the church, and their names were
ablotted• out.



3 Ne. 18: 29-32
29 For whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and ablood bunworthily• eateth and
drinketh damnation to his soul; therefore if ye know that a man is unworthy to
eat and drink of my flesh and blood ye shall forbid him.

30 Nevertheless, ye shall not acast• him out from among you, but ye shall
bminister• unto him and shall pray for him unto the Father, in my name; and if
it so be that he repenteth and is baptized in my name, then shall ye receive
him, and shall minister unto him of my flesh and blood.

31 But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my people, that he may
not destroy my people, for behold I aknow• bmy• sheep, and they are numbered.

32 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your asynagogues•, or your places
of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but
what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart,
and I shall bheal• them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto
them.



Moro. 6: 7
7 And they were strict to observe that there should be ano• iniquity among them;
and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and bthree• witnesses of the church did
condemn them before the celders•, and if they repented not, and dconfessed not,
their names were eblotted• out, and they were not fnumbered among the people of
Christ.



Mosiah 27: 28
28 Nevertheless, after awading• through much btribulation, repenting nigh unto
death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an ceverlasting•
burning, and I am born of God.



Alma 5: 31
31 Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the atime is at hand that he
must repent or he cannot be saved!



Alma 5: 49
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea,
to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the
land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I
say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea,
to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.



Alma 7: 9
9 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this
people, saying—aRepent• ye, and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his
paths, which are straight; for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the
Son of God bcometh• upon the face of the earth.



Alma 5: 54
54 Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another; yea,
will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who humble themselves and
do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith they have been brought into this
church, having been asanctified by the Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth
works which are meet for repentance—



Alma 6: 2
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who arepented
of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.



Alma 7: 9
9 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this
people, saying—aRepent• ye, and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his
paths, which are straight; for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the
Son of God bcometh• upon the face of the earth.



Hel. 14: 9
9 And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by his angel, that I should come
and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath commanded that I should prophesy
these things unto you; yea, he hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent
and prepare the way of the Lord.



Alma 9: 12
12 Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent; and except ye
repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. But behold, this is not
all—he has commanded you to repent, or he will utterly adestroy• you from off
the face of the earth; yea, he will visit you in his banger•, and in his
cfierce• anger he will not turn away.



Alma 9: 25
25 And now for this cause, that ye may not be destroyed, the Lord has sent his
angel to visit many of his people, declaring unto them that they must go forth
and cry mightily unto this people, saying: aRepent• ye, for the kingdom of
heaven is nigh at hand;



Alma 10: 20
20 And now I say unto you that well doth the Lord ajudge of your iniquities;
well doth he cry unto this people, by the voice of his bangels•: Repent ye,
repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



Hel. 5: 32
32 And behold the voice came again, saying: aRepent• ye, repent ye, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand; and seek no more to destroy my servants. And it
came to pass that the earth shook again, and the walls trembled.



Alma 12: 24
24 And we see that adeath comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been
spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space
granted unto bman• in which he might repent; therefore this life became a
cprobationary• state; a time to dprepare• to meet God; a time to prepare for
that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the
resurrection of the dead.



Alma 42: 4
4 And thus we see, that there was a atime• granted unto man to repent, yea, a
bprobationary• time, a time to repent and serve God.



Alma 13: 10
10 Now, as I said concerning the holy order, or this ahigh• priesthood, there
were many who were ordained and became high priests of God; and it was on
account of their exceeding bfaith and crepentance, and their righteousness
before God, they choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to
perish;



Alma 13: 18
18 But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the office of the
high priesthood according to the aholy order of God, did preach repentance unto
his people. And behold, they did repent; and Melchizedek did establish peace in
the land in his days; therefore he was called the prince of peace, for he was
the king of Salem; and he did reign under his father.



Alma 14: 1
1 AND it came to pass after he had made an end of speaking unto the people many
of them did believe on his words, and began to repent, and to search the
ascriptures•.



Alma 26: 22
22 Yea, he that arepenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good bworks,
and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the
cmysteries• of God; yea, unto such it shall be dgiven• to ereveal• things which
never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring
thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring
these our brethren to repentance.



Alma 29: 1
1 O THAT I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go
forth and speak with the atrump• of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and
cry repentance unto every people!



Alma 32: 13
13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man
sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh arepentance; and now surely,
whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and bendureth•
to the end the same shall be saved.



Alma 32: 13
13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man
sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh arepentance; and now surely,
whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and bendureth•
to the end the same shall be saved.



Alma 34: 33
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses,
therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not bprocrastinate• the day of your
crepentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to
prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,
then cometh the dnight• of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.



Alma 34: 34
34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful acrisis•, that I will
repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same
spirit which doth bpossess• your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life,
that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.



Alma 37: 31
31 Yea, and acursed• be the land forever and ever unto those workers of darkness
and secret combinations, even unto destruction, except they repent before they
are fully bripe•.



Alma 42: 16
16 Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a apunishment,
which also was beternal• as the life of the soul should be, affixed copposite to
the plan of happiness, which was as deternal also as the life of the soul.



Alma 42: 22
22 But there is a law given, and a apunishment affixed, and a brepentance
granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the
creature and executeth the claw•, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not
so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.



Alma 42: 29
29 And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things atrouble• you no
more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring
you down unto repentance.



Hel. 5: 11
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their
sins because of repentance; therefore he hath asent• his angels to declare the
tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the
Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.



Hel. 5: 11
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their
sins because of repentance; therefore he hath asent• his angels to declare the
tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the
Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.



Hel. 5: 29
29 And it came to pass that there came a avoice• as if it were above the cloud
of darkness, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, and seek no more to destroy my
bservants whom I have sent unto you to declare good tidings.



Hel. 5: 40-41
40 And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him: aWhat• shall we do,
that this cloud of darkness may be removed from overshadowing us?

41 And Aminadab said unto them: You must arepent, and cry unto the voice, even
until ye shall have bfaith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and
cAmulek•, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be
removed from overshadowing you.



Hel. 12: 22
22 And wo unto him to whom he shall say this, for it shall be unto him that will
do iniquity, and he cannot be asaved; therefore, for this cause, that men might
be saved, hath repentance been declared.



Hel. 12: 23
23 Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the
Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved.



3 Ne. 23: 5
5 And whosoever will hearken unto my words and repenteth and is baptized, the
same shall be saved. Search the aprophets•, for many there be that testify of
these things.



Hel. 13: 33, 36
33 O athat• I had repented, and had not killed the prophets, and bstoned• them,
and cast them out. Yea, in that day ye shall say: O that we had remembered the
Lord our God in the day that he gave us our riches, and then they would not have
become slippery that we should lose them; for behold, our riches are gone from
us.

       •  •  •
36 O that we had repented in the day that the word of the Lord came unto us; for
behold the land is cursed, and all things are become slippery, and we cannot
hold them.



3 Ne. 8: 24-25
24 And in one place they were heard to cry, saying: O that we had repented
abefore this great and terrible day, and then would our brethren have been
spared, and they would not have been bburned• in that great city Zarahemla.

25 And in another place they were heard to cry and mourn, saying: O that we had
repented before this great and terrible day, and had not killed and stoned the
prophets, and cast them out; then would our mothers and our fair daughters, and
our children have been spared, and not have been buried up in that great city
aMoronihah•. And thus were the howlings of the people great and terrible.



Hel. 15: 1
1 AND now, my beloved brethren, behold, I declare unto you that except ye shall
repent your houses shall be left unto you adesolate•.



Hel. 15: 7
7 And behold, ye do know of yourselves, for ye have witnessed it, that as many
of them as are brought to the knowledge of the truth, and to know of the wicked
and abominable traditions of their fathers, and are led to believe the holy
scriptures, yea, the prophecies of the holy prophets, which are written, which
leadeth them to faith on the Lord, and unto repentance, which faith and
repentance bringeth a achange of heart unto them—



3 Ne. 7: 24
24 Now I would have you to remember also, that there were none who were brought
unto arepentance who were not baptized with water.



3 Ne. 9: 2
2 Wo, wo, wo unto this people; wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except
they shall arepent; for the devil blaugheth•, and his angels rejoice, because of
the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people; and it is because of
their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen!



3 Ne. 9: 22
22 Therefore, whoso arepenteth and cometh unto me bas• a clittle• child, him
will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have
dlaid• down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto
me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.



3 Ne. 16: 13
13 But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold
they shall be anumbered• among my people, O house of Israel.



3 Ne. 18: 32
32 Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your asynagogues•, or your places
of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but
what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart,
and I shall bheal• them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto
them.



3 Ne. 27: 16
16 And it shall come to pass, that whoso arepenteth and is baptized in my bname
shall be filled; and if he cendureth• to the end, behold, him will I hold
guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.



3 Ne. 30: 2
2 Turn, all ye aGentiles•, from your wicked ways; and brepent of your evil
doings, of your clyings• and deceivings, and of your whoredoms, and of your
secret abominations, and your idolatries, and of your dmurders•, and your
epriestcrafts, and your fenvyings, and your strifes, and from all your
wickedness and abominations, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, that
ye may receive a remission of your sins, and be filled with the Holy Ghost, that
ye may be gnumbered• with my people who are of the house of Israel.



Ether 2: 11
11 And this cometh unto you, O ye aGentiles•, that ye may know the decrees of
God—that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness
come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the bwrath• of God upon you as
the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.



Ether 11: 1
1 AND there came also in the days of Com many aprophets•, and prophesied of the
destruction of that great people except they should repent, and turn unto the
Lord, and forsake their murders and wickedness.



Moro. 6: 2
2 Neither did they receive any unto baptism save they came forth with a abroken
bheart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed unto the church that they truly
repented of all their sins.



Moro. 6: 8
8 But aas• oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real bintent, they
were cforgiven.



Moro. 7: 31
31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to
fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he hath made
unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by
declaring the word of Christ unto the achosen• vessels of the Lord, that they
may bear testimony of him.



Moro. 8: 8
8 aListen• to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God.
Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to
repentance; the bwhole• need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore,
little cchildren• are dwhole•, for they are not capable of committing esin;
wherefore the curse of fAdam• is taken from them in me, that it hath no power
over them; and the law of gcircumcision• is done away in me.



Moro. 8: 11, 19
11 And their little achildren need no repentance, neither baptism. Behold,
baptism is unto repentance to the fulfilling the commandments unto the
bremission of sins.

       •  •  •
19 Little achildren• cannot repent; wherefore, it is awful wickedness to deny
the pure mercies of God unto them, for they are all alive in him because of his
bmercy.



Moro. 8: 22
22 For behold that all little children are aalive in Christ, and also all they
that are without the blaw•. For the power of credemption cometh on all them that
have dno law; wherefore, he that is not condemned, or he that is under no
condemnation, cannot repent; and unto such baptism availeth nothing—



Moro. 8: 24
24 Behold, my son, this thing ought not to be; for arepentance is unto them that
are under condemnation and under the curse of a broken law.



Moro. 8: 25
25 And the first fruits of arepentance is bbaptism•; and baptism cometh by faith
unto the fulfilling the commandments; and the fulfilling the commandments
bringeth cremission• of sins;



Moro. 9: 3
3 And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people;
for they do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to aanger one
with another.



D&C 1: 27
27 And inasmuch as they sinned they might be achastened, that they might
brepent;



D&C 98: 21
21 Verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will achasten• them and will do
whatsoever I list, if they do not repent and observe all things whatsoever I
have said unto them.



D&C 1: 32-33
32 Nevertheless, he that arepents and does the bcommandments• of the Lord shall
be cforgiven•;

33 And he that arepents• not, from him shall be btaken• even the light which he
has received; for my cSpirit shall not always dstrive• with man, saith the Lord
of Hosts.



D&C 58: 42
42 Behold, he who has arepented of his bsins•, the same is cforgiven•, and I,
the Lord, remember them no more.



D&C 1: 33
33 And he that arepents• not, from him shall be btaken• even the light which he
has received; for my cSpirit shall not always dstrive• with man, saith the Lord
of Hosts.



D&C 5: 21
21 And now I command you, my servant Joseph, to arepent• and bwalk• more
uprightly before me, and to yield to the cpersuasions of men no more;



D&C 3: 10
10 But remember, God is merciful; therefore, repent of that which thou hast done
which is contrary to the commandment which I gave you, and thou art still
chosen, and art aagain• called to the work;



D&C 3: 20
20 And that the aLamanites• might come to the knowledge of their fathers, and
that they might know the bpromises• of the Lord, and that they may cbelieve• the
gospel and drely• upon the merits of Jesus Christ, and be eglorified• through
faith in his name, and that through their repentance they might be saved. Amen.



D&C 18: 22
22 And as many as repent and are abaptized in my name, which is Jesus Christ,
and bendure to the end, the same shall be saved.



D&C 5: 19
19 For a desolating ascourge• shall go forth among the inhabitants of the earth,
and shall continue to be poured out from time to time, if they brepent not,
until the earth is cempty•, and the inhabitants thereof are dconsumed• away and
utterly destroyed by the brightness of my ecoming•.



D&C 6: 9
9 Say nothing but arepentance• unto this generation; keep my commandments, and
assist to bring forth my work, according to my commandments, and you shall be
blessed.



D&C 11: 9
9 aSay• nothing but brepentance unto this generation. Keep my commandments, and
assist to bring forth my cwork, daccording• to my commandments, and you shall be
blessed.



D&C 14: 8
8 And it shall come to pass, that if you shall ask the Father in my name, in
faith abelieving•, you shall receive the bHoly• Ghost, which cgiveth utterance,
that you may stand as a dwitness• of the things of which you shall both ehear•
and see, and also that you may declare frepentance unto this generation.



D&C 19: 21
21 And I command you that you apreach• naught but repentance, and show bnot•
these things unto the world until it is wisdom in me.



D&C 10: 67
67 Behold, this is my doctrine—whosoever repenteth and acometh• unto me, the
same is my bchurch.



D&C 13: 1
1 UPON you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I aconfer• the
bPriesthood• of Aaron, which holds the ckeys• of the ministering of dangels, and
of the gospel of erepentance•, and of fbaptism by immersion for the remission of
sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of
gLevi• do offer again an offering unto the Lord in hrighteousness.



D&C 84: 27
27 Which agospel• is the gospel of brepentance and of cbaptism, and the
dremission of sins, and the elaw of fcarnal• commandments, which the Lord in his
wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel
until gJohn•, whom God raised up, being hfilled• with the Holy Ghost from his
mother’s womb.



D&C 15: 6
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most
worth unto you will be to adeclare• brepentance unto this people, that you may
bring csouls unto me, that you may drest with them in the ekingdom of my
fFather. Amen.



D&C 16: 6
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most
worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may
bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father.
Amen.



D&C 18: 6
6 Behold, the aworld is bripening• in iniquity; and it must needs be that the
children of men are stirred up unto repentance, both the cGentiles• and also the
house of Israel.



D&C 18: 9, 22, 42
9 And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the
way of commandment; for, behold, I acommand• all men everywhere to repent, and I
speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine bapostle•, for you are called even with
that same calling with which he was called.

       •  •  •
22 And as many as repent and are abaptized in my name, which is Jesus Christ,
and bendure to the end, the same shall be saved.

       •  •  •
42 For all men must repent and be baptized, and not only men, but women, and
achildren who have arrived at the years of baccountability•.



D&C 19: 13, 15, 20
13 Wherefore, I command you to repent, and keep the acommandments• which you
have received by the hand of my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., in my name;

       •  •  •
15 Therefore I command you to repent—repent, lest I asmite• you by the rod of my
mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your bsufferings• be sore—how sore
you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.

       •  •  •
20 Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I ahumble you with my almighty
power; and that you bconfess• your sins, lest you suffer these cpunishments of
which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree you
have dtasted• at the time I withdrew my Spirit.



D&C 20: 29
29 And we know that all men must arepent and bbelieve• on the name of Jesus
Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and cendure in dfaith on his name to
the end, or they cannot be esaved in the kingdom of God.



D&C 49: 8, 26
8 Wherefore, I will that all men shall repent, for all are under asin•, except
those which I have breserved• unto myself, choly• men that ye know not of.

       •  •  •
26 Behold, I say unto you, go forth as I have commanded you; repent of all your
sins; aask• and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you.



D&C 56: 14
14 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto my people—you have many things to do and to
repent of; for behold, your asins• have come up unto me, and are not bpardoned•,
because you seek to ccounsel• in your own ways.



D&C 58: 48
48 And let them build up achurches•, inasmuch as the inhabitants of the earth
will repent.



D&C 133: 16
16 Hearken and hear, O ye inhabitants of the earth. aListen•, ye elders of my
church together, and hear the voice of the Lord; for he calleth upon all men,
and he commandeth all men everywhere to brepent.



D&C 18: 11
11 For, behold, the Lord your aRedeemer suffered bdeath in the flesh; wherefore
he csuffered the dpain• of all men, that all men might repent and ecome• unto
him.



D&C 18: 12
12 And he hath arisen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him,
on conditions of brepentance•.



D&C 18: 13
13 And how great is his ajoy• in the bsoul that crepenteth!



D&C 18: 14
14 Wherefore, you are called to acry• repentance unto this people.



D&C 33: 10
10 Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: Repent, arepent•, and
prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the bkingdom•
of heaven is at hand;



D&C 34: 6
6 To lift up your voice as with the sound of a atrump•, both long and loud, and
bcry• repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, cpreparing• the way of
the Lord for his second dcoming.



D&C 36: 6
6 Crying repentance, saying: aSave• yourselves from this untoward generation,
and come forth out of the fire, hating even the bgarments• spotted with the
flesh.



D&C 43: 20-22
20 Lift up your voices and spare not. Call upon the nations to repent, both old
and young, both abond• and free, saying: Prepare yourselves for the great day of
the Lord;

21 For if I, who am a man, do lift up my voice and call upon you to repent, and
ye ahate me, what will ye say when the bday cometh when the cthunders• shall
utter their voices from the ends of the earth, speaking to the ears of all that
live, saying—Repent, and prepare for the great day of the Lord?

22 Yea, and again, when the alightnings• shall streak forth from the east unto
the west, and shall utter forth their voices unto all that live, and make the
ears of all tingle that hear, saying these words—Repent ye, for the great day of
the Lord is come?



D&C 44: 3
3 And it shall come to pass that they shall go forth into the regions round
about, and apreach repentance unto the people.



D&C 55: 2
2 And then thou shalt be ordained by the hand of my servant Joseph Smith, Jun.,
to be an elder unto this church, to preach repentance and aremission of sins by
way of baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.



D&C 18: 41-42
41 And you must preach unto the world, saying: You must arepent and be baptized,
in the name of Jesus Christ;

42 For all men must repent and be baptized, and not only men, but women, and
achildren who have arrived at the years of baccountability•.



D&C 33: 11
11 Yea, arepent and be baptized, every one of you, for a bremission of your
sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of
the Holy Ghost.



D&C 42: 7
7 And ye shall go forth baptizing with water, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



D&C 44: 3
3 And it shall come to pass that they shall go forth into the regions round
about, and apreach repentance unto the people.



D&C 49: 13
13 aRepent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, according to the holy
commandment, for the remission of sins;



D&C 53: 3
3 Take upon you mine ordination, even that of an elder, to preach faith and
repentance and aremission of sins, according to my word, and the reception of
the Holy Spirit by the laying on of bhands;



D&C 18: 44
44 And by your hands I will work a amarvelous• work among the children of men,
unto the bconvincing• of many of their sins, that they may come unto repentance,
and that they may come unto the kingdom of my Father.



D&C 19: 15
15 Therefore I command you to repent—repent, lest I asmite• you by the rod of my
mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your bsufferings• be sore—how sore
you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.



D&C 19: 17
17 But if they would not repent they must asuffer• even as I;



D&C 20: 37
37 And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of
baptism—All those who ahumble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized,
and come forth with broken hearts and bcontrite spirits, and witness before the
church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take
upon them the cname• of Jesus Christ, having a ddetermination• to serve him to
the end, and truly manifest by their eworks• that they have received of the
fSpirit of Christ unto the gremission of their sins, shall be received by
baptism into his church.



D&C 20: 71
71 No one can be received into the church of Christ unless he has arrived unto
the years of aaccountability• before God, and is capable of brepentance.



D&C 29: 17
17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I
will take avengeance• upon the bwicked, for they will not repent; for the ccup•
of mine dindignation is full; for behold, my eblood• shall not fcleanse them if
they hear me not.



D&C 29: 42
42 But, behold, I say unto you that I, the Lord God, gave unto Adam and unto his
seed, that they should not adie• as to the temporal death, until I, the Lord
God, should send forth bangels• to declare unto them crepentance and
dredemption, through faith on the name of mine eOnly Begotten Son.



D&C 29: 44
44 And they that believe not unto eternal adamnation•; for they cannot be
redeemed from their spiritual bfall, because they repent not;



D&C 29: 49
49 And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded
to arepent?



D&C 33: 11-12
11 Yea, arepent and be baptized, every one of you, for a bremission of your
sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of
the Holy Ghost.

12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my agospel; and remember that
they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;



D&C 39: 6
6 And this is my agospel—repentance and baptism by water, and then cometh the
bbaptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, even the Comforter, which showeth all
things, and cteacheth• the peaceable things of the kingdom.



D&C 35: 5
5 Thou didst baptize by water unto repentance, but they areceived• not the Holy
Ghost;



D&C 39: 18
18 And inasmuch as they do repent and receive the fulness of my gospel, and
become sanctified, I will stay mine hand in ajudgment.



D&C 42: 28
28 Thou knowest my laws concerning these things are given in my scriptures; he
that sinneth and arepenteth not shall be bcast out.



D&C 104: 10
10 And I now give unto you power from this very hour, that if any man among you,
of the order, is found a transgressor and repenteth not of the evil, that ye
shall adeliver• him over unto the buffetings of Satan; and he shall not have
power to bbring• evil upon you.



D&C 49: 8
8 Wherefore, I will that all men shall repent, for all are under asin•, except
those which I have breserved• unto myself, choly• men that ye know not of.



D&C 50: 39
39 Wherefore, in this thing my servant aEdward• Partridge is not justified;
nevertheless let him repent and he shall be forgiven.



D&C 54: 3
3 And if your brethren desire to escape their enemies, let them repent of all
their sins, and become truly ahumble• before me and contrite.



D&C 56: 8
8 And again, verily I say unto you, that my servant Ezra Thayre must repent of
his apride, and of his bselfishness, and obey the former commandment which I
have given him concerning the place upon which he lives.



D&C 58: 43
43 By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will aconfess•
them and bforsake• them.



D&C 58: 47
47 Let them preach by the way, and abear• testimony of the truth in all places,
and call upon the rich, the high and the low, and the poor to repent.



D&C 63: 63
63 Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will aown•
them; otherwise they shall be cut off.



D&C 64: 12
12 And him that arepenteth not of his sins, and bconfesseth them not, ye shall
bring before the cchurch•, and do with him as the dscripture• saith unto you,
either by commandment or by revelation.



D&C 68: 25
25 And again, inasmuch as aparents have children in Zion, or in any of her
bstakes which are organized, that cteach• them not to understand the ddoctrine•
of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the
gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eeight• years old,
the fsin• be upon the heads of the parents.



D&C 84: 27
27 Which agospel• is the gospel of brepentance and of cbaptism, and the
dremission of sins, and the elaw of fcarnal• commandments, which the Lord in his
wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel
until gJohn•, whom God raised up, being hfilled• with the Holy Ghost from his
mother’s womb.



D&C 107: 20
20 The apower• and authority of the lesser, or bAaronic Priesthood, is to hold
the ckeys• of the ministering of angels, and to dadminister• in outward
eordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the
fremission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments.



D&C 84: 57
57 And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember
the new acovenant•, even the bBook of Mormon and the cformer• commandments which
I have given them, not only to say, but to ddo• according to that which I have
written—



D&C 98: 27
27 And these three atestimonies shall stand against your enemy if he repent not,
and shall not be blotted out.



D&C 98: 39-40
39 And again, verily I say unto you, if after thine aenemy has come upon thee
the first time, he repent and come unto thee praying thy forgiveness, thou shalt
forgive him, and shalt hold it no more as a testimony against thine enemy—

40 And so on unto the second and third time; and as oft as thine enemy repenteth
of the trespass wherewith he has trespassed against thee, thou shalt aforgive•
him, until seventy times seven.



D&C 98: 41-44
41 And if he trespass against thee and repent not the first time, nevertheless
thou shalt forgive him.

42 And if he trespass against thee the second time, and repent not, nevertheless
thou shalt forgive him.

43 And if he trespass against thee the third time, and repent not, thou shalt
also forgive him.

44 But if he trespass against thee the fourth time thou shalt not forgive him,
but shalt bring these testimonies before the Lord; and they shall not be blotted
out until he repent and areward thee four-fold in all things wherewith he has
trespassed against thee.



D&C 133: 62
62 And unto him that repenteth and asanctifieth• himself before the Lord shall
be given eternal life.



D&C 138: 31
31 And the chosen messengers went forth to declare the aacceptable• day of the
Lord and proclaim bliberty to the captives who were bound, even unto all who
would crepent of their sins and receive the gospel.



D&C 138: 33, 58
33 These were taught afaith• in God, repentance from sin, bvicarious• baptism
for the cremission of sins, the dgift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of
hands,

       •  •  •
58 The dead who arepent will be redeemed, through obedience to the bordinances•
of the house of God,



D&C 138: 33
33 These were taught afaith• in God, repentance from sin, bvicarious• baptism
for the cremission of sins, the dgift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of
hands,



D&C 138: 57
57 I beheld that the faithful aelders of this dispensation, when they depart
from mortal life, continue their labors in the bpreaching of the cgospel of
repentance and redemption, through the sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of
God, among those who are in darkness and under the bondage of sin in the great
world of the dspirits of the dead.



Moses 5: 14-15
14 And the Lord God called upon men by the aHoly• Ghost everywhere and commanded
them that they should repent;

15 And as many as abelieved in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be
bsaved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be cdamned•; and
the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they
must be fulfilled.



Moses 6: 50, 57
50 But God hath made known unto our fathers that all men must repent.

       •  •  •
57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must
arepent•, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no bunclean•
thing can dwell there, or cdwell• in his dpresence; for, in the language of
Adam, eMan• of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the
fSon• of Man, even gJesus Christ, a righteous hJudge, who shall come in the
meridian of time.



Moses 6: 53-62
53 And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must
repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have
aforgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden.

54 Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that the aSon of God hath
batoned• for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered
upon the heads of the cchildren, for they are dwhole from the foundation of the
world.

55 And the Lord spake unto Adam, saying: Inasmuch as thy children are aconceived
in sin, even so when they begin to grow up, bsin conceiveth in their hearts, and
they taste the cbitter•, that they may know to prize the good.

56 And it is given unto them to know good from evil; wherefore they are aagents•
unto themselves, and I have given unto you another law and commandment.

57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must
arepent•, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no bunclean•
thing can dwell there, or cdwell• in his dpresence; for, in the language of
Adam, eMan• of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the
fSon• of Man, even gJesus Christ, a righteous hJudge, who shall come in the
meridian of time.

58 Therefore I give unto you a acommandment, to bteach these things freely unto
your cchildren, saying:

59 That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death,
and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the
aspirit•, which I have made, and so became of bdust• a living soul, even so ye
must be cborn again into the kingdom of heaven, of dwater, and of the Spirit,
and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be
sanctified from all sin, and eenjoy• the fwords• of geternal• life in this
world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal hglory;

60 For by the awater• ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are bjustified,
and by the cblood ye are dsanctified;

61 Therefore it is given to abide in you; the arecord of heaven; the bComforter;
the cpeaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things; that which
quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things; that which knoweth all
things, and hath all dpower according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and
judgment.

62 And now, behold, I say unto you: This is the aplan of salvation unto all men,
through the bblood of mine cOnly Begotten, who shall come in the meridian of
time.



Moses 7: 39
39 And That which I have chosen hath pled before my face. Wherefore, he
asuffereth• for their sins; inasmuch as they will repent in the day that my
bChosen• shall return unto me, and until that day they shall be in ctorment;



Moses 8: 24
24 aBelieve and repent of your sins and be bbaptized in the name of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy
Ghost, that ye may have all things made cmanifest•; and if ye do not this, the
floods will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.



Moses 8: 26
26 And the Lord said: I will adestroy man whom I have created, from the face of
the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the
air; for it repenteth Noah that I have created them, and that I have made them;
and he hath called upon me; for they have sought his blife•.



Abr. 1: 30
30 Accordingly a famine prevailed throughout all the land of Chaldea, and my
father was sorely tormented because of the famine, and he repented of the evil
which he had determined against me, to take away my alife•.



JS-H 1: 69
69 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the aPriesthood
of bAaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel
of repentance, and of cbaptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this
shall never be taken again from the earth until the sons of dLevi• do offer
again an offering unto the Lord in erighteousness.

Haile Selassie Christmas Interview with Dr. Oswald Hoffman
From Wikisource
Jump to: navigation, search

Haile Selassie Christmas Interview with Dr. Oswald Hoffman
by Haile Selassie, translated by Haile Selassie I Press

Information about this edition
December 25, 1968
Question: Your Imperial Majesty, it is a great honour to be permitted
to speak with you today and also to have you as a guest on this
special Christmas programme which will be broadcast to people all
over the world. Your Imperial Majesty, what is it that makes you want
to follow Jesus Christ?
H.I.M.: When Jesus Christ was born from Virgin Mary, from that time
on He lived an exemplary life, a life which men everywhere must
emulate. This life and the faith which He has taught us assures us of
salvation, assures us also of harmony and good life upon earth.
Because of the exemplary character of the life of Jesus Christ it is
necessary that all men do their maximum in their human efforts to see
to it that they approximate as much as they can the good example that
has been set by HIM.
It's quite true that there is no perfection in humanity. From time to
time we make mistakes. We do commit sins, but even as we do that,
deep in our hearts as Christians we know we have a chance of
forgiveness from the Almighty. He taught us that all men are equal
regardless of sex, their national origin and tribe. And He also
taught us all who seek HIM shall find HIM. To live in this healthy
life, a Christian life, is what makes me follow Jesus Christ.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, what advice would you give a
person who is considering the claims of Christ, perhaps for the first
time?
H.I.M.: I would tell a person who was considering the claim of Christ
for the first time that it is necessary to have faith in the
Almighty, that it is necessary to have love, and that it is necessary
to conduct oneself in a manner that we have been taught to do in the
Bible.
I would also advise him to seek the secular knowledge, for the more
one knows the more he realises the need for a prime mover, the need
for a Creator, a Creator who is good, and the need for salvation and
also for peaceful life upon earth.
I would also tell him to learn and to think for himself the ways he
would serve the Lord. In this thought and in this undertaking of his
he will inevitably find the way of serving his fellow men. For his
faith would then be manifested by His conduct. If Christians behave
in this way, if we dedicate ourselves to this fundamental task, then
we will have a peaceful world and will be assured of not
transgressing against the will and the Commandments of God.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, are there any incidents in your
life which stand in your memory as times when faith in Christ
sustained you?
H.I.M.: There are many instances in my life where the belief in The
Almighty and the Christian Faith have sustained me, times of troubles
and difficulties. No matter what may befall a human being he can
always succeed in overcoming it in time if he has the strength of
faith and praise to God, for inevitably He comes to the assistance of
those that believe in HIM and those that through their work live an
exemplary life.
This goes not only for Christians in my view, but for all men. I
think God communicates with those that find themselves in misfortune.
In particular, when my country Ethiopia was invaded by aliens several
years ago I was sustained in that period by my faith in God and in
the abiding belief that justice, however it may take time, will
ultimately prevail.
If I did not have faith in The Almighty and in His Righteousness and
that justice inevitable prevails, then I would have lost hope and
thus the interests of my country would have been ignored. Because I
attempted to maintain my faith in HIM and because all Ethiopians
maintained their faith in the ultimate goodness of the world and in
the grand design that The Almighty has for all men in the world, we
were able to victoriously re-enter our country and rid ourselves of
evil forces.
If I did not have in my heart the love of God I don't think I would
have acted in a manner that I did. The love of God brings a sense of
religiousness in a human being, it gives him comfort for the future
and assurance that right cause will ultimately prevail.
Dr. Hoffman: His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie The First
ascended the throne of Ethiopia in November in the year 1930. Now, in
the year 1968, Haile Selassie has been in the forefront in mediating
the crisis in Biafra. Some of the intervening years have been stormy
ones. But there are few Statesmen who can retrace a career of more
resolute leadership in both internal and world affairs. Few can claim
greater unbroken continuity with the past that nevertheless moves
methodically into the twentieth century. At the same time, few have
seen more anguish and defeat than Haile Selassie, of whom biographer
Leonard Mosley has written in projected epitaph, He shaped, rather
than waited upon events.
Just seven months after He became Emperor in 1930, He gave the people
of Ethiopia their first written Constitution. His plea before the
League of Nations in 1936 as His country was ravaged by Mussolini's
armies, and His anguished exile during the following years, are
etched in the memory of the world. When He regained His throne in
1941, His refusal to allow retaliation against the defeated invader
was viewed with disbelief.
"One this day," He said, " I owe thanks unutterable by the mouth of
man to the living God who has enabled me to be present among you.
Today is the beginning of a new era in the history of Ethiopia. Since
this is so, do not reward evil for evil.. do not commit any act of
cruelty like those which the enemy committed against us up to this
present time.
Dr. Hoffmann: When the United Nations Charter was drawn up after
World War II His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie was one of its
original drafters. In 1963, He established the Organization of
African Unity, to encourage co-operation among African States and co-
ordinate their efforts to build a better life for the people of all
Africa.
Constitutional reforms in 1956 guaranteed all the rights of the
people of Ethiopia, though the Emperor retains much personal power in
governing His agricultural nation of 22 million people, all the time
seeking to lead His nation toward a fully modern way of life.
At 76 years of age, His Imperial Majesty continues to work a twenty
hour day, with three hours for sleep and one devoted to prayer.
Emperor Haile Selassie and I talked about many things on that day
during the rainy season.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, how does it seem to you the
Apostle Paul meant by the statement, Faith works by love?
H.I.M.:What St. Paul said here is not a mistaken statement. You all
know what St. Paul was and what kind of work he was engaged in before
his conversion. Later on, after his conversion he had faith and love,
and if he had not had that he would not have taught people this in
his epistles. Neither love nor faith are separable from each other.
An elaboration of this is Paul's exposition in one of his Epistles
which speak of love and faith. Without love all of our human efforts
in the sight of God can be useless. He loved us and on our behalf He
was given as a ransom, and it was because of love and His love for us
that He accomplished the act of love.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, as a member of the Body of
Christ, what do you expect of the Church?
H.I.M.: The Church is not merely a building. The Church is the
faithful fulfilment of the Christian life and its requirements. Thus,
as the name applies to the buildings so is our heart The Church in
which God dwells.
After our blameless Creator was sent to this world by His Father,
then the hearts of all believers become The Temple of God. The love
of God cannot be fathomed by a series of questions and answers, and
man's soul cannot experience deeper enrichment as a result. We
believe that men at all times be bound by His love and grace.
Dr. Hoffman:Your Imperial Majesty, as a member of the body of Christ,
what do you feel you can contribute to The Church?
H.I.M.: All men are endowed with natural responsibility. This
responsibility is in turn distributed and delegated to all according
to his gift, and it is expected of each one to fulfil his
responsibility. This responsibility in turn is to God and thus for
example, and would start his work asking God to bless the beginning
and thank God for a good ending too.
We believe that all people in all of their responsibilities delegated
to them will begin and finish their work in God's name. I gave you
brief answer. If we go into detail we would have to spend a long time
discussing.
Dr. Hoffman:It is a magnificent answer and I am deeply grateful for
it. To turn to another subject, Your Imperial Majesty, are there any
passages of the bible that have become especially meaningful to you?
H.I.M.: I have the highest respect for the Bible as a whole. We also
recognise the rightful name the Bible bears. We find that in all the
periods of the Old Testament, in the time of Patriarchs, Kings, and
Prophets, great miracles were done. On the other hand, the time in
which Our Lord HIM-self gave the command to go to all the world and
to preach is also of high value. Then, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,-
the four gospels in which the sayings of our Lord are recorded- are
pillars for all men on the earth. Therefore the Bible should not be
cut into portions.
Dr. Hoffman: As a mature Christian, have You a special word for young
people of these days?
H.I.M.: On this occasion I address all those within Our Empire. Our
Christianity is not restricted to a given church and I stress above
all that We do not wish to make distinctions. My advice to all is to
fulfil the Ten Commandments. You are aware of the contents of the Ten
Commandments and can elaborate on it. If the nation for which I am
the Emperor follows and accepts this, since its also what I accept
and follow, I would believe our country is not only historically
Christian but also actively Christian.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, the birthday of Our Lord is
observed by peoples throughout the world in different ways, I know,
and I should like to ask You how You observe the feast of the
nativity of our Lord within Your own family and household?
H.I.M.: The birth of Our Lord is a joyous family event. However, I do
not only rejoice with my kindred and family since the whole Ethiopian
nation is my family. I say this in the context of Christmas being
observed by all churches in Ethiopia. I rejoice on this occasion also
because of Jesus Christ being given for us. For He was born in the
lowly place and got warmth by animals. This fact encourages us to
celebrate it with joy.
When I have visited the five large continents, I have not been
anywhere where there was not a church. All over the world I have come
to know that the birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, as a figure of world importance
and probably one of the best known man in the world today, I should
like to ask You this question: What meaning can the birth of Christ
have for the nations of the world today?
H.I.M.: As I said before, the birth of Christ is celebrated all over
the world. When I say the whole world it does not mean that all
people would observe it in the same manner. In all the places that I
have visited, including the Muslims and the Buddhists, We have seen
the observance. But for Christians it is an act conducted with love.
Dr. Hoffman: Your Imperial Majesty, You have done us great honour and
also all the people who will listen to this broadcast by giving us
the opportunity to speak with You this day. And all those who are
listening should know that this conversation was held in the Imperial
Palace at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with His Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie I, and we thank You and wish you
God's blessing in all the days to come.
H.I.M.: Thank you.
