Moroni began this section by being concerned for the mocking of the Gentiles. He noted his own weakness in writing, and worried that such a weakness might diminish the effect of the Book of Mormon on the future Gentiles. The Lord explains the nature of weaknesses, and promises Moroni that this particular “weakness,” (or the Book of Mormon) would become strong to those who are able to accept and believe. Just as with the Bible, there will be those who accept it for the word of God, and there will be those who do not accept it, and mock it.
