1.28 D&C 122:7 "And if thou shouldst be cast
into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be
cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy;
if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all,
if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these
things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good."
1.29 Job 42:12-17 "So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jeminma; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch, And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job;: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days."
1.30 Romans 3:23-26 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
1.31 2nd Nephi 25:23 "For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do."
