For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing, and the conditions thereof, as were instituted from before the foundation of the world.

And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted
for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof
must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God.

For these angels did not abide my law;
therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly,
without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from
henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.

And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law,
and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by
the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have
appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be
said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it
be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall
inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all
heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life,
that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye
abide in my covenant, and commit no murder
whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things
whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all
eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and
they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to
their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their
heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds
forever and ever.

Broad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the deaths; and many
there are that go in thereat, because they receive me not, neither do
they abide in my law.

And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and cleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who
holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law
of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe
and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your
God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those
who receive and abide in my law.
