The end of Mormon’s inserted homily is that the bleak picture of the Nephites falling into pride, and of their dismissal of God’s commandments, need not be permanent. For all of his modern readers, Mormon reiterates that “blessed they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved.” Mormon makes no distinction between those theoretical people who never sin and those who sin and repent. All those who repent are included in those who “have done good [and] shall have everlasting life.”
Mormon ends this section with the testificatory amen, which is the seal upon his testimony of what he has written. It also signals the end of a chapter in the 1830 edition.
