“ Is there forgiveness for those who, having submitted to the Gospel, may fail in rendering a perfect obedience to the commandments of Christ? Answer: Yes; if there were not, no flesh could be saved. But forgiveness is conditional, on our confessing and forsaking our sins; and also on our being forgiving to others; and forgiveness is only granted at the intercession of Christ. If we are unforgiving, or if he refuse to intercede, there is no hope for us. ”

“ We are not to give way to anger, wrath, bitterness, or evil speaking. (9) We are not to conform to the world or to be ambitious after high things. (10) We are not to be slack in paying our debts. (11) We are not to backbite or speak of other men's sins until we have spoken to themselves first. (12) We are not to be guilty of adultery, fornication, uncleanness, drunkenness, covetousness, wrath, strife, sedition, hatred, emulation, boasting, vain glory, envy, jesting, or foolish talking. ”

“ Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. ”
