131:3.2 " Out of a [[pure]] [[heart]] shall gladness spring forth to the [[Infinite]]; all my being shall be at [[peace]] with this [[supermortal]] rejoicing. My [[soul]] is filled with content, and my [[heart]] overflows with the bliss of peaceful [[trust]]. I have no fear; I am [[free]] from [[anxiety]]. I dwell in [[security]], and my enemies cannot alarm me. I am [[satisfied]] with the fruits of my [[confidence]]. I have found the approach to the [[Immortal]] easy of [[access]]. I pray for [[faith]] to sustain me on the long [[journey]]; I know that [[faith]] from beyond will not fail me. I know my brethren will prosper if they become imbued with the [[faith]] of the [[Immortal]], even the [[faith]] that creates [[modesty]], uprightness, [[wisdom]], [[courage]], [[knowledge]], and [[perseverance]]. Let us forsake [[sorrow]] and disown [[fear]]. By [[faith]] let us lay hold upon true [[righteousness]] and genuine manliness. Let us learn to [[meditate]] on [[justice]] and [[mercy]]. [[Faith]] is man's true [[wealth]]; it is the [[endowment]] of [[virtue]] and [[glory]].

131:3.7 " A [[righteous]] [[soul]] is more to be [[desired]] than the [[sovereignty]] of all the [[earth]]. [[Immortality]] is the goal of [[sincerity]]; [[death]], the end of thoughtless living. Those who are [[earnest]] die not; the thoughtless are [[dead]] already. [[Blessed]] are they who have [[insight]] into the deathless [[state]]. Those who [[torture]] the living will hardly find [[happiness]] after [[death]]. The unselfish go to [[heaven]], where they [[rejoice]] in the [[bliss]] of infinite liberality and continue to increase in [[noble]] [[generosity]]. Every [[mortal]] who [[thinks]] [[righteous]]ly, speaks [[nobly]], and [[acts]] unselfishly shall not only enjoy [[virtue]] here during this brief life but shall also, after the dissolution of the [[body]], continue to enjoy the delights of [[heaven]].
