Correlating And Complementarying

I received this verse in response to my scripture pattern post.  This type of communication builds scripture "super hero" empowerment.

Jacob 7:23

The Nephites had the scriptures and used them to feel the "love of God", verse 23.  Likewise, we too feel the "love of God" as we read the scriptures.  By correlating the scriptures with each other, it provides a complementary feature of the spirit that builds and edifies, stretching its breath and path.  Jacob implies through his writing that the scriptures were used to educate, culturally build his people, "my brother Nephi had commanded me, and he promised obedience unto the commands", and to Enos, "take these plates", and be blessed as a people, "adieu".  It is further amplified, and witnessed in poetic, chiastic form, within the last verse of chapter 7: v27:

...end of my writing
     writing (words) has been small
          reader I bid farewell
     my brethren may read my words
Brethren, adieu.

Adieu meaning from its originated and translated form...Brethren, My blessing and farewell.
