16 And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken it, and it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away, that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are filthy shall be filthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire, prepared for them; and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.
"Assuredly as the Lord liveth" - my favorite phrase in the Book of Mormon - because of how it's used and the powerful testimonies that follow that phrase!
Can there be any stronger phrase to emphasize a coming point? What is coming in verse 17?!.....
Ahhh...references to God's promises again. My favorite things.
I'm a great sinner, but God in His mercy, has sent a Great Savior.
