    10And now, as ye have begun to teach the word even so I would that ye should continue to teach; and I would that ye would be diligent and temperate in all things.
    11See that ye are not lifted up unto pride; yea, see that ye do not boast in your own wisdom, nor of your much strength.
    12Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness.
    13Do not pray as the Zoramites do, for ye have seen that they pray to be heard of men, and to be praised for their wisdom.
    14Do not say: O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren; but rather say: O Lord, forgive my unworthiness, and remember my brethren in mercy—yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times.
