131:5.2 " All things come from, and belong to, the One [[God]]—all-[[wise]], [[good]], [[righteous]], [[holy]], resplendent, and [[glorious]]. This, our God, is the [[source]] of all [[luminosity]]. He is the [[Creator]], the God of all [[good]] [[purposes]], and the protector of the [[justice]] of the [[universe]]. The [[wise]] [[course]] in life is to [[act]] in [[consonance]] with the [[spirit of truth]]. God is all-seeing, and he beholds both the [[evil]] deeds of the [[wicked]] and the good works of the [[righteous]]; our God [[observes]] all things with a flashing eye. His [[touch]] is the touch of [[healing]]. The Lord is an all-[[powerful]] [[benefactor]]. God stretches out his [[beneficent]] hand to both the [[righteous]] and the [[wicked]]. [[God]] [[established]] the world and [[ordained]] the rewards for [[good]] and for [[evil]]. The all-wise [[God]] has promised [[immortality]] to the pious [[souls]] who think [[purely]] and act [[righteous]]ly. As you supremely [[desire]], so shall you be. The [[light]] of the [[sun]] is as [[wisdom]] to those who [[discern]] [[God]] in the [[universe]].

131:5.5 " This [[religion]] of the Wise One cleanses the believer from every [[evil]] [[thought]] and sinful [[deed]]. I bow before the [[God]] of heaven in [[repentance]] if I have offended in [[thought]], [[word]], or [[act]]—[[intention]]ally or unintentionally—and I offer [[prayers]] for [[mercy]] and [[praise]] for [[forgiveness]]. I know when I make [[confession]], if I [[purpose]] not to do again the [[evil]] thing, that [[sin]] will be removed from my [[soul]]. I know that [[forgiveness]] takes away the bonds of [[sin]]. Those who do evil shall receive [[punishment]], but those who follow [[truth]] shall [[enjoy]] the [[bliss]] of an [[eternal]] [[salvation]]. Through [[grace]] lay hold upon us and minister saving [[power]] to our [[souls]]. We claim [[mercy]] because we [[aspire]] to attain [[perfection]]; we would be like [[God]]. "
