|And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free.
:A There is no other ''name given whereby salvation cometh'';
::B therefore, I would that ye should ''take upon you the name'' of Christ,
:::C all you that have entered into the ''covenant with God''
::::D that ye should be ''obedient'' unto the end of your lives.
::::D And it shall come to pass that whosoever ''doeth this''
:::C shall be found at the ''right hand of God'',
::B for he shall know the ''name by which he is called'';
:A for he shall be called by the ''name of Christ''.
