Moroni I

the book of Moroni 1now I Moroni after having made an end of abridging the account of the people of Jared I had supposed to not have written more but I have not as yet perished and I make not myself known to the Lamanites lest they should destroy me 2for behold their wars are exceeding fierce among themselves and because of their hatred they put to death every Nephite that will not deny the Christ 3and I Moroni will not deny the Christ wherefore I wander whithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life 4wherefore I write a few more things contrary to that which I had supposed for I had supposed not to have written any more but I write a few more things that perhaps they may be of worth unto my brethren the Lamanites in some future day according to the will of the Lord
