And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err. And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them, and also gave him power that he should smite the rock and the water should come forth; yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true, and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved.
The whole purpose of the Book of Mormon is to make the gospel plain. Not only did the prophets speak and write plainly, but the translation was inspired and unencumbered by traditions. It passed through a single set of hands. No unscrupulous and designing men intervened between the original writing and the one true translation. It is pure, plain and precious. I revere the Bible and the unfathomable sacrifices that went into preserving it and producing it. I love the Book of Mormon for its purity, clarity and power. Together, they witness of Christ.
