. . . . . . . . . . . . G-1 for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints,
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-2 which shall be shed by them,
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-3 shall always cry unto him from the ground
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-4 or vengeance upon them
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-5 and yet he avenge them not.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I-1 and suffer not
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I-2 that these murderous combinations shall get above you,
                                      which are built up to get power and gain

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I-1' if ye shall suffer

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . H-4' that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . H-5' because of this secret combination which shall be among you;

. . . . . . . . . . . . G-1' or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-2' who have been slain;
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-3' for they cry from the dust
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-4' for vengeance upon it,
. . . . . . . . . . . . G-5' and also upon those who built it up.

. . . . . . . . . . F-1' v25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up

. . . . C-1' yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder
. . . . C-2' from the beginning;
. . . . C-1' who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out
. . . . C-2' from the beginning.

. . B' v26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away,

A-1' and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men,
A-2' but that they may be persuaded to do good continually,
A-3' that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.
