第一章：我們如何得到摩爾門經

1. 約瑟•斯密14歲的時候，有很多當時的教會都說他們是真實的教會，所以他不知道應該加入哪一個教會才好。
2. 有一天，約瑟在聖經雅各書第一章第五節讀到：「你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求……神。」約瑟想知道哪個教會是真實的，所以決定自己求問神。
3. 於是，在一個春天的早晨，約瑟走到他家附近的樹林裡祈禱。
4. 當他跪下來祈禱時，撒但想阻止他。約瑟於是更努力地祈禱，祈求天父能幫助他。
5. 約瑟看見天父和耶穌基督出現在一道光柱裡。天父指著耶穌基督說：「這是我的愛子。聽祂說！」
6. 約瑟問耶穌應該加入哪個教會。耶穌叫他不要加入任何教會，因為他們都是錯的。
7. 約瑟告訴別人他在樹林裡看到和聽到的事情，別人都嘲笑他；許多當地教會的領袖也迫害他。
8. 三年過去了。有一天晚上，約瑟祈禱請求神寬恕他的罪，並想知道他該做什麼。
9. 這時，一位名叫摩羅乃的天使出現了，他告訴約瑟一本寫在金頁片上的書，要約瑟把金頁片翻譯成英文。
10. 摩羅乃離開後，約瑟便思考摩羅乃所說的事。同一天晚上摩羅乃又出現了兩次。
11. 第二天，約瑟•斯密爬上了克謨拉山，也就是他在異象中看到的地方。他在那裡發現了一塊大石頭，便用棍子把石頭橇開。
12. 石頭下面有個石箱子，約瑟往箱子裡看，看到了金頁片。
13. 這時摩羅乃出現了，他告訴約瑟不要拿那些頁片，但要在將來的四年裡，在每一年的同一天回到山上來。每次約瑟到山上時，摩羅乃就教他一些事情。
14. 四年之後，摩羅乃終於讓約瑟把金頁片拿走。約瑟用烏陵和土明翻譯了金頁片一部分的內容。
15. 約瑟翻譯金頁片的時候，有抄寫員幫他把內容寫下來。
16. 約瑟把這些翻譯出來的文字拿給印刷商印製成一本書。
17. 這本書就叫做摩爾門經，其中講到很久以前住在美洲大陸上的人的故事，也講到神的兒子耶穌基督。
