21  And the days of the children of ^amen were prolonged, according to the will of God, that they might repent while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of probation, 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 lost, because of the transgression of their parents.

  8-12  Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.

  20  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it ^cpatiently, this is acceptable with God.

  32  For behold, this life is the time for men to ^bprepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

  1  ^aMan that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
