Analysis
Chapter 1 is a short introduction.
Chapters 2-6 contain some direction as to how the church was organized. The
ordinances of
baptism, the
Gift of the Holy Ghost, and the
sacrament are detailed. Also, some general instruction on the laws in the church are given.
Chapter 7 is a sermon that
Mormon gave to the
Nephites. This sermon focuses on the essence of
good and
evil.
» 15 For behold, my brethren, it's given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
» 16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it's of God.
» 17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it's of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
Mormon finishes by talking about
miracles,
faith,
hope, and
charity.
» 37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it's by faith that miracles are wrought; and it's by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it's because of unbelief, and all is vain.
» 38 For no man can be saved, according to the words of Christ, save they'll have faith in his name; wherefore, if these things have ceased, then has faith ceased also; and awful is the state of man, for they're as though there had been no redemption made.
» 45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and isn't puffed up, seeketh not her own, isn't easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
» 46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
» 47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it'll be well with him.
Chapters 8 and 9 contain two letters to
Moroni from his father,
Mormon. The first talks about the beginnings of
apostasy among the Nephites, focusing particularly on the practice of
infant baptism. The second details the awful state of the Nephites and foreshadows their destruction.
Chapter 10 contains
Moroni's Promise and some advice for people in the present day. He writes about spiritual gifts,
faith,
hope and
charity. Moroni declares that his words are the words of one "speaking out of the dust" which alludes to a prophecy of
Isaiah (See Isaiah 29:4).
