“Wrought Upon and Cleansed”
That which is “wrought upon” is changed in some basic or essential way, usually by the means of hand tools through twisting, beating, or embellishing. In Moroni 6:4, “wrought upon” is symbolic and has reference to what occurs when the Spirit quickens and changes a convert to a new person. The atoning sacrifice of Christ makes the remission of our sins possible, but it is through the cleansing power of the Holy Ghost, the baptism of fire, that sins are actually purged or removed (see 2 Nephi 31:17, Alma 13:12, 3 Nephi 27:20).
