- 5I Moroni have written the commandments given to me, based on my memory. And I’ve told you about the things I sealed up under the Lord’s care. So don’t translate them, since you’re forbidden to do so unless God in His wisdom decides otherwise. 2And then you’ll have the opportunity and direction to show the plates to those who help bring this book to light. 3The plates will be shown to three witnesses by God’s power; as a result, they’ll know for sure these things are true. 4The word of three witnesses will confirm these things. The testimony of three, and this book — in which God’s power will be displayed and His word revealed, which the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost testify of — all this will stand as a testimony against the world on the last day. 5If they repent and come to the Father in Jesus’ name, they will be received into God’s kingdom. 6Now if I don’t have any authority to say these things, decide for yourself; you’ll know I have authority when you see me and we stand before God on the last day. Amen.
