Moronis Abhandlung über den Glauben

Ether 12:6

Während der Niederschrift über das Wirken des Propheten Ether fügt Moroni seine eigenen Kommentare über den Glauben hinzu—er erklärt, dass sich der Glaube auf Dinge bezieht, die erhofft, aber nicht gesehen werden, und dass Zeugnisse erst nach einer Glaubensprüfung empfangen werden.

And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

Ether 12:7

Der Besuch von Jesus im Verheißenes Land war das Ergebnis des Glaubens der Menschen.

For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers, after he had risen from the dead; and he showed not himself unto them until after they had faith in him; wherefore, it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed himself not unto the world.

Ether 12:8–9

Christuss Dienst und Gabe an die Menschlichkeit wird durch Glauben empfangen.

But because of the faith of men he has shown himself unto the world, and glorified the name of the Father, and prepared a way that thereby others might be partakers of the heavenly gift, that they might hope for those things which they have not seen. Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith.

Ether 12:10–12

Das Gesetz des Moses wurde durch Glauben verwaltet, und auch das höhere Gesetz des Christus wird durch Glauben erfüllt.

Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after the holy order of God. Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled. For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.

Ether 12:13–16

Der Glaube ist es, der das Gefängnis von Alma und Amulek zum Einsturz brachte, der Glaube ist es, der die Veränderung bei den Lamaniten bewirkte, die Nephi und Lehi lehrten, und der Glaube ist es, der den Söhnen von Mosiah auf ihren Missionen Kraft gab.

Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth. Behold, it was the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost. Behold, it was the faith of Ammon and his brethren which wrought so great a miracle among the Lamanites. Yea, and even all they who wrought miracles wrought them by faith, even those who were before Christ and also those who were after.

Ether 12:17–18

Ebenso wurden die drei Jünger Christi erst nach dem Ausüben ihres Glaubens ihren Wunsch gewährt.

And it was by faith that the three disciples obtained a promise that they should not taste of death; and they obtained not the promise until after their faith. And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God.

Ether 12:19–21

Der Glaube Einiger war so stark, dass sie nicht vom Schleier ferngehalten werden konnten; Jareds Bruder war einer davon, und er sah den Finger des Herrn.

And there were many whose faith was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came, who could not be kept from within the veil, but truly saw with their eyes the things which they had beheld with an eye of faith, and they were glad.

And behold, we have seen in this record that one of these was the brother of Jared; for so great was his faith in God, that when God put forth his finger he could not hide it from the sight of the brother of Jared, because of his word which he had spoken unto him, which word he had obtained by faith.

And after the brother of Jared had beheld the finger of the Lord, because of the promise which the brother of Jared had obtained by faith, the Lord could not withhold anything from his sight; wherefore he showed him all things, for he could no longer be kept without the veil.

Ether 12:22

Verheißungen von Gott an die Heiden sollen auch durch Glauben empfangen werden.

And it is by faith that my fathers have obtained the promise that these things should come unto their brethren through the Gentiles; therefore the Lord hath commanded me, yea, even Jesus Christ.
