Verily thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Thomas: I have heard thy prayers; and thine ^aalms have come up as a ^bmemorial before me, in behalf of those, thy brethren, who were chosen to bear testimony of my name and to ^csend it abroad among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, and ordained through the instrumentality of my servants.

 2 Verily I say unto you, there have been some few things in thine heart and with thee with which I, the Lord, was not well pleased.

 3 Nevertheless, inasmuch as thou hast ^aabased thyself thou shalt be exalted; therefore, all thy sins are forgiven thee.

 4 Let thy heart be of good ^acheer before my face; and thou shalt bear record of my name, not only unto the ^bGentiles, but also unto the Jews; and thou shalt send forth my word unto the ends of the earth.

 5 ^aContend thou, therefore, morning by morning; and day after day let thy ^bwarning voice go forth; and when the night cometh let not the inhabitants of the earth slumber, because of thy ^cspeech.

 6 Let thy habitation be known in Zion, and ^aremove not thy house; for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do, in publishing my name among the children of men.

 7 Therefore, ^agird up thy loins for the work. Let thy feet be shod also, for thou art chosen, and thy path lieth among the mountains, and among many nations.

 8 And by thy word many high ones shall be brought low, and by thy word many low ones shall be ^aexalted.

 9 Thy voice shall be a rebuke unto the transgressor; and at thy ^arebuke let the tongue of the slanderer cease its perverseness.

 10 Be thou ^ahumble; and the Lord thy God shall ^blead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.

 11 I know thy heart, and have heard thy prayers concerning thy brethren. Be not partial towards them in love above many others, but let thy ^alove be for them as for thyself; and let thy love abound unto all men, and unto all who love my name.

 12 And pray for thy brethren of the Twelve. ^aAdmonish them sharply for my name's sake, and let them be admonished for all their sins, and be ye faithful before me unto my ^bname.
