              •  •  •
          24 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that he began to flee, they took courage and pursued them with vigor.

    69. D&C 76: 15, 28, 80, 113, 115
          15 For while we were doing the work of ^atranslation, which the Lord had appointed unto us, we came to the twenty-ninth verse of the fifth chapter of John, which was given unto us as follows—
              •  •  •
          28 And while we were yet in the Spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision; for we beheld Satan, that old ^aserpent, even the ^bdevil, who rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our ^cGod and his Christ—
              •  •  •
          80 And now this is the end of the ^avision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to ^bwrite while we were yet in the Spirit.
              •  •  •
          113 This is the end of the vision which we saw, which we were commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
              •  •  •
          115 Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not ^alawful for man to utter;
    70. D&C 84: 28
          28 For he was baptized while he was yet in his childhood, and was ^aordained by the angel of God at the time he was ^beight days old unto this power, to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews, and to ^cmake straight the way of the Lord before the face of his people, to prepare them for the ^dcoming of the Lord, in whose hand is given ^eall power.
    71. D&C 88: 62
          62 And again, verily I say unto you, my ^afriends, I leave these ^bsayings with you to ^cponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall ^dcall upon me while I am near—
    72. D&C 90: 3
          3 Verily I say unto you, the keys of this ^akingdom shall ^bnever be taken from you, while thou art in the world, neither in the world to come;
    73. D&C 101: 47, 50, 54
          47 And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves: And what need hath my lord of this tower?
              •  •  •
          50 And while they were at variance one with another they became very ^aslothful, and they hearkened not unto the commandments of their lord.
              •  •  •
          54 And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer.
    74. D&C 104: 20

    75. D&C 105: 25
          25 And behold, I will give unto you favor and grace in their eyes, that you may rest in ^apeace and safety, while you are saying unto the people: Execute judgment and justice for us according to law, and redress us of our ^bwrongs.
    76. D&C 130: 13
          13 It may probably arise through the slave question. This a ^avoice declared to me, while I was praying earnestly on the subject, December 25th, 1832.
    77. D&C 138: 5
          5 While I was thus engaged, my mind reverted to the writings of the apostle Peter, to the ^aprimitive saints scattered abroad throughout ^bPontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, and other parts of Asia, where the gospel had been ^cpreached after the crucifixion of the Lord.
    78. Moses 5: 32
          32 And Cain went into the field, and Cain talked with Abel, his brother. And it came to pass that while they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him.
    79. JS-H 1: 11, 25, 30, 42, 57, 68
          11 While I was laboring under the extreme difficulties caused by the contests of these parties of religionists, I was one day reading the Epistle of ^aJames, first chapter and fifth verse, which reads: If any of you lack ^bwisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
              •  •  •
          25 So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two ^aPersonages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was ^bhated and ^cpersecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me ^dfalsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not ^edeny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.
              •  •  •
          30 While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a ^alight appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a ^bpersonage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor.
              •  •  •
          42 Again, he told me, that when I got those plates of which he had spoken—for the time that they should be obtained was not yet fulfilled—I should not show them to any person; neither the breastplate with the Urim and Thummim; only to those to whom I should be commanded to show them; if I did I should be ^adestroyed. While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my ^bmind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly that I knew the place again when I visited it.
              •  •  •
          57 During the time that I was thus employed, I was put to board with a Mr. Isaac Hale, of that place; it was there I first saw my wife (his daughter), Emma Hale. On the 18th of January, 1827, we were married, while I was yet employed in the service of Mr. Stoal.
              •  •  •
