Selected from Genesis 4 of Joseph Smith’s Biblical Revision Project
1. In that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which bears record of the Father and the Son, saying: “I am the Only Begotten of the Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever, that as you have fallen you may be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will.”
2. In that day, Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: “Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression mine eyes are opened, and in this life, I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God.”
3. And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: “Were it not for our transgression, we should never have had seed and should never should have known good and evil and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.”
4. And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.
5. Thus, the Gospel began to be preached from the beginning, being declared by holy angels sent forth from the presence of God, and by his own voice, and by the gift of the Holy Ghost.
6. Thus all things were confirmed unto Adam by an hoy ordinance, and the Gospel preached, and a decree sent forth that it should be in the world until the end thereof, and thus it was. Amen.
7. The Lord blessed them, and a book of remembrance was kept, in the which was recorded in the language of Adam, for it was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of inspiration;
8. And by them, their children were taught to read and write, having a language which was pure and undefiled. Now this same language, which was in the beginning, shall be in the end of the world also.
