In the P of GP we read about how Oliver Cowdery came to see Joseph Smith and then served as his scribe as he began to translate the Book of Mormon. Joseph Smith History 1: 66-67 "On the 5th day of April, 1829, Oliver Cowdery came to my house, until which time I had never seen him. He stated to me that having been teaching school in the neighborhood where my father resided, and my father being one of those who sent to the school, he went to board for a season at his house, and while there the family related to him the circumstances of my having received the plates, and accordingly he had come to make inquiries of me. Two days after the arrival of Mr. Cowdery (being the 7th of April) I commenced to translate the Book of Mormon, and he began to write for me."
In the New Testament we read that it's not enough to merely hear the Word of God. We need to obey the Word of God and actually do what it tells us to do. Pure religion means to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. If we simply listen to God's word but don't put it into action, we're deceiving ourselves. James 1:22, 27 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that when a man comes unto Christ, he becomes a new creature and his old life with his old sins pass away. When we accept Jesus Christ, it changes us. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
