Unto you (2)

251. D&C 1: 6, 8, 34
       6 Behold, this is mine ^aauthority, and the authority of my servants, and my preface unto the book of my ^bcommandments, which I have given them to ^cpublish unto you, O ^dinhabitants of the earth.
           •  •  •
       8 And verily I say unto you, that they who go forth, bearing these tidings unto the inhabitants of the earth, to them is power given to ^aseal both on earth and in heaven, the unbelieving and ^brebellious;
           •  •  •
       34 And again, verily I say unto you, O inhabitants of the earth: I the Lord am willing to make these things ^aknown unto ^ball flesh;
252. D&C 2: 1
       1 Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of ^aElijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and ^bdreadful day of the Lord.
253. D&C 4: 7
       7 ^aAsk, and ye shall receive; ^bknock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.
254. D&C 5: 1-5, 7, 9, 22-23
       1 Behold, I say unto you, that as my servant ^aMartin Harris has desired a witness at my hand, that you, my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., have got the plates of which you have testified and borne record that you have received of me;
       2 And now, behold, this shall you say unto him—he who spake unto you, said unto you: I, the Lord, am God, and have given these things unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and have commanded you that you should stand as a ^awitness of these things;
       3 And I have caused you that you should enter into a ^acovenant with me, that you should not ^bshow them except to those ^cpersons to whom I commanded you; and you have no ^dpower over them except I grant it unto you.
       4 And you have a gift to ^atranslate the plates; and this is the first gift that I bestowed upon you; and I have commanded that you should pretend to no other gift until my purpose is fulfilled in this; for I will grant unto you no other gift until it is finished.
       5 Verily, I say unto you, that ^awoe shall come unto the inhabitants of the earth if they will not ^bhearken unto my words;
           •  •  •
       7 Behold, if they will not ^abelieve my words, they would not believe you, my servant Joseph, if it were possible that you should show them all these things which I have committed unto you.
           •  •  •
       9 Behold, verily I say unto you, I have ^areserved those things which I have entrusted unto you, my servant Joseph, for a wise purpose in me, and it shall be made known unto future generations;
           •  •  •
       22 And that you be ^afirm in ^bkeeping the commandments wherewith I have commanded you; and if you do this, behold I grant unto you ^ceternal life, even if you should be ^dslain.
       23 And now, again, I speak unto you, my servant Joseph, concerning the ^aman that desires the witness—
255. D&C 6: 5-8, 22, 25-26, 28-30, 32
       5 Therefore, if you will ^aask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
       6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and ^aseek to bring forth and establish the cause of ^bZion;
       7 ^aSeek not for ^briches but for ^cwisdom, and behold, the ^dmysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made ^erich. Behold, he that hath ^feternal life is rich.
       8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you ^adesire of me so it shall be unto you; and if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much ^bgood in this generation.
           •  •  •
       22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might ^aknow concerning the truth of these things.
           •  •  •
       25 And, behold, I grant unto you a gift, if you desire of me, to ^atranslate, even as my servant Joseph.
       26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that there are ^arecords which contain much of my gospel, which have been kept back because of the ^bwickedness of the people;
           •  •  •
       28 And now, behold, I give unto you, and also unto my servant Joseph, the ^akeys of this gift, which shall bring to light this ministry; and in the mouth of two or three ^bwitnesses shall every word be established.
       29 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if they ^areject my words, and this part of my gospel and ministry, blessed are ye, for they can do no more unto you than unto me.
       30 And even if they ^ado unto you even as they have done unto me, blessed are ye, for you shall ^bdwell with me in ^cglory.
           •  •  •
       32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as ^atouching ^bone thing, behold, there will I be in the ^cmidst of them—even so am I in the ^dmidst of you.
256. D&C 7: 1, 7-8
       1 And the Lord said unto me: John, my ^abeloved, what ^bdesirest thou? For if you shall ask what you will, it shall be granted unto you.
           •  •  •
       7 And I will make thee to minister for him and for thy brother James; and unto you three I will ^agive this power and the ^bkeys of this ministry until I come.
       8 Verily I say unto you, ye shall both have according to your desires, for ye both ^ajoy in that which ye have desired.
257. D&C 8: 1, 9, 11-12
       1 ^aOliver Cowdery, verily, verily, I say unto you, that assuredly as the Lord liveth, who is your God and your Redeemer, even so surely shall you receive a ^bknowledge of whatsoever things you shall ^cask in faith, with an ^dhonest heart, believing that you shall receive a ^eknowledge concerning the engravings of old ^frecords, which are ancient, which contain those parts of my scripture of which has been spoken by the ^gmanifestation of my Spirit.
           •  •  •
       9 And, therefore, whatsoever you shall ask me to tell you by that means, that will I grant unto you, and you shall have knowledge concerning it.
           •  •  •
       11 Ask that you may know the mysteries of God, and that you may ^atranslate and receive knowledge from all those ancient records which have been hid up, that are ^bsacred; and according to your faith shall it be done unto you.
       12 Behold, it is I that have spoken it; and I am the same that spake unto you from the beginning. Amen.
258. D&C 9: 1-2, 7-8
       1 Behold, I say unto you, my son, that because you did not ^atranslate according to that which you desired of me, and did commence again to ^bwrite for my servant, Joseph Smith, Jun., even so I would that ye should continue until you have finished this record, which I have entrusted unto him.
       2 And then, behold, ^aother ^brecords have I, that I will give unto you power that you may assist to ^ctranslate.
           •  •  •
       7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
       8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must ^astudy it out in your ^bmind; then you must ^cask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your ^dbosom shall ^eburn within you; therefore, you shall ^ffeel that it is right.
259. D&C 10: 1, 3, 11, 14, 20, 28, 30, 34-35, 37-38, 56
       1 Now, behold, I say unto you, that because you ^adelivered up those writings which you had power given unto you to translate by the means of the ^bUrim and Thummim, into the hands of a wicked man, you have lost them.
           •  •  •
       3 Nevertheless, it is now ^arestored unto you again; therefore see that you are faithful and continue on unto the finishing of the remainder of the work of ^btranslation as you have begun.
           •  •  •
       11 And behold, I say unto you, that because they have altered the words, they read contrary from that which you translated and caused to be written;
           •  •  •
       14 Verily, I say unto you, that I will not suffer that Satan shall accomplish his ^aevil design in this thing.
           •  •  •
       20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ^aSatan has great hold upon their hearts; he stirreth them up to ^biniquity against that which is good;
           •  •  •
       28 Verily, verily, I say unto you, wo be unto him that ^alieth to ^bdeceive because he supposeth that another lieth to deceive, for such are not exempt from the ^cjustice of God.
           •  •  •
       30 Behold, I say unto you, that you shall not translate again those words which have gone forth out of your hands;
           •  •  •
       34 But behold, here is wisdom, and because I show unto you wisdom, and give you commandments concerning these things, what you shall do, show it not unto the world until you have accomplished the work of translation.
       35 Marvel not that I said unto you: Here is ^awisdom, show it not unto the world—for I said, show it not unto the world, that you may be preserved.
           •  •  •
       37 But as you cannot always judge the ^arighteous, or as you cannot always tell the wicked from the righteous, therefore I say unto you, hold your ^bpeace until I shall see fit to make all things known unto the world concerning the matter.
       38 And now, verily I say unto you, that an account of those things that you have written, which have gone out of your hands, is engraven upon the ^aplates of Nephi;
           •  •  •
       56 But it is they who do not ^afear me, neither keep my commandments but build up ^bchurches unto themselves to get ^cgain, yea, and all those that do wickedly and build up the kingdom of the devil—yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that it is they that I will disturb, and cause to tremble and shake to the center.
260. D&C 11: 5-8, 13, 17, 30
       5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will ^aknock it shall be opened unto you.
       6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of ^aZion.
       7 Seek not for ^ariches but for ^bwisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made ^crich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
       8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be done unto you; and, if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation.
           •  •  •
       13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall ^aenlighten your ^bmind, which shall fill your soul with ^cjoy;
           •  •  •
       17 And then, behold, according to your desires, yea, even according to your ^afaith shall it be done unto you.
           •  •  •
       30 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that as many as receive me, to them will I give ^apower to become the ^bsons of God, even to them that ^cbelieve on my name. Amen.
261. D&C 12: 5-7
       5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
       6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of ^aZion.
       7 Behold, I speak unto you, and also to all those who have desires to bring forth and establish this work;
262. D&C 14: 5
       5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will ^aknock it shall be opened unto you.
263. D&C 15: 2, 4, 6
       2 For behold, I speak unto you with ^asharpness and with power, for mine arm is over all the ^bearth.
           •  •  •
       4 For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you.
           •  •  •
       6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to ^adeclare ^brepentance unto this people, that you may bring ^csouls unto me, that you may ^drest with them in the ^ekingdom of my ^fFather. Amen.
264. D&C 16: 2, 4-6
       2 For behold, I speak unto you with sharpness and with power, for mine arm is over all the earth.
           •  •  •
       4 For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you.
       5 Behold, blessed are you for this thing, and for speaking my words which I have given unto you according to my commandments.
       6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen.
265. D&C 17: 1, 9
       1 Behold, I say unto you, that you must rely upon my word, which if you do with full purpose of heart, you shall have a ^aview of the ^bplates, and also of the ^cbreastplate, the ^dsword of Laban, the ^eUrim and Thummim, which were given to the ^fbrother of Jared upon the mount, when he talked with the Lord ^gface to face, and the ^hmiraculous directors which were given to Lehi while in the wilderness, on the borders of the ⁱRed Sea.
           •  •  •
       9 And I, Jesus Christ, your ^aLord and your God, have spoken it unto you, that I might bring about my righteous purposes unto the children of men. Amen.
266. D&C 18: 1-3, 9, 31, 35, 37, 45
       1 Now, behold, because of the thing which you, my servant Oliver Cowdery, have desired to know of me, I give unto you these words:
       2 Behold, I have ^amanifested unto you, by my Spirit in many instances, that the ^bthings which you have written are ^ctrue; wherefore you know that they are true.
       3 And if you know that they are true, behold, I give unto you a commandment, that you ^arely upon the things which are ^bwritten;
           •  •  •
       9 And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the way of commandment; for, behold, I ^acommand all men everywhere to repent, and I speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine ^bapostle, for you are called even with that same calling with which he was called.
           •  •  •
       31 And now I speak unto you, the ^aTwelve—Behold, my grace is sufficient for you; you must walk uprightly before me and sin not.
           •  •  •
       35 For it is my ^avoice which speaketh them unto you; for they are given by my Spirit unto you, and by my power you can read them one to another; and save it were by my power you could not have them;
           •  •  •
       37 And now, behold, I give unto you, Oliver Cowdery, and also unto David Whitmer, that you shall search out the Twelve, who shall have the desires of which I have spoken;
           •  •  •
       45 Wherefore, the blessings which I give unto you are ^aabove all things.
267. D&C 19: 8-9, 32
       8 Wherefore, I will explain unto you this ^amystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles.
       9 I speak unto you that are chosen in this thing, even as one, that you may enter into my ^arest.
           •  •  •
       32 Behold, this is a great and the last ^acommandment which I shall give unto you concerning this matter; for this shall suffice for thy daily walk, even unto the end of thy life.
268. D&C 21: 4, 11
       4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give ^aheed unto all his words and ^bcommandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all ^choliness before me;
           •  •  •
       11 This being an ordinance unto you, that you are an elder under his hand, he being the ^afirst unto you, that you might be an elder unto this church of Christ, bearing my name—
269. D&C 22: 1
       1 Behold, I say unto you that all ^aold covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an ^beverlasting ^ccovenant, even that which was from the beginning.
270. D&C 23: 1, 3-6
       1 Behold, I speak unto you, Oliver, a few words. Behold, thou art blessed, and art under no condemnation. But beware of ^apride, lest thou shouldst enter into ^btemptation.
           •  •  •
       3 Behold, I speak unto you, Hyrum, a few words; for thou also art under no condemnation, and thy heart is opened, and thy tongue ^aloosed; and thy calling is to exhortation, and to ^bstrengthen the church continually. Wherefore thy duty is unto the church forever, and this because of thy family. Amen.
       4 Behold, I speak a few words unto you, ^aSamuel; for thou also art under no condemnation, and thy calling is to exhortation, and to strengthen the church; and thou art not as yet called to preach before the world. Amen.
       5 Behold, I speak a few words unto you, Joseph; for thou also art under no ^acondemnation, and thy calling also is to exhortation, and to strengthen the church; and this is thy duty from henceforth and forever. Amen.
       6 Behold, I manifest unto you, Joseph Knight, by these words, that you must take up your ^across, in the which you must ^bpray ^cvocally before the world as well as in secret, and in your family, and among your friends, and in all places.
271. D&C 25: 1-2, 16
       1 Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter; for verily I say unto you, all those who ^areceive my gospel are sons and daughters in my ^bkingdom.
       2 A revelation I give unto you concerning my will; and if thou art faithful and ^awalk in the paths of ^bvirtue before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an ^cinheritance in Zion.
           •  •  •
       16 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my ^avoice unto all. Amen.
272. D&C 26: 1
       1 Behold, I say unto you that you shall let your ^atime be devoted to the ^bstudying of the scriptures, and to preaching, and to confirming the church at ^cColesville, and to performing your ^dlabors on the land, such as is required, until after you shall go to the west to hold the next conference; and then it shall be made ^eknown what you shall do.
273. D&C 27: 2-3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 18
       2 For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall ^aeat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my ^bglory—^cremembering unto the Father my ^dbody which was laid down for you, and my ^eblood which was shed for the ^fremission of your sins.
       3 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, that you shall not purchase ^awine neither strong drink of your enemies;
           •  •  •
       5 Behold, this is wisdom in me; wherefore, marvel not, for the hour cometh that I will ^adrink of the fruit of the ^bvine with you on the earth, and with ^cMoroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel, to whom I have committed the keys of the ^drecord of the ^estick of ^fEphraim;
           •  •  •
       8 Which John I have sent unto you, my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first ^apriesthood which you have received, that you might be called and ^bordained even as ^cAaron;
           •  •  •
       12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ^aordained you and confirmed you to be ^bapostles, and especial ^cwitnesses of my ^dname, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;
           •  •  •
       16 Stand, therefore, having your loins ^agirt about with ^btruth, having on the ^cbreastplate of ^drighteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the ^egospel of ^fpeace, which I have sent mine ^gangels to commit unto you;
           •  •  •
       18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my ^aSpirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be ^bcaught up, that where I am ye shall be ^calso. Amen.
274. D&C 28: 8-9
       8 And now, behold, I say unto you that you shall go unto the ^aLamanites and preach my ^bgospel unto them; and inasmuch as they ^creceive thy teachings thou shalt cause my ^dchurch to be established among them; and thou shalt have revelations, but write them not by way of commandment.
       9 And now, behold, I say unto you that it is not revealed, and no man knoweth where the ^acity ^bZion shall be built, but it shall be given hereafter. Behold, I say unto you that it shall be on the borders by the Lamanites.
275. D&C 29: 3-4, 12, 14, 22, 26, 29, 33-34, 42, 46, 49-50
       3 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that at this time your ^asins are ^bforgiven you, therefore ye receive these things; but remember to sin no more, lest perils shall come upon you.
       4 Verily, I say unto you that ye are chosen out of the world to declare my gospel with the sound of rejoicing, as with the ^avoice of a trump.
           •  •  •
       12 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath gone forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that mine ^aapostles, the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at Jerusalem, shall stand at my right hand at the day of my coming in a pillar of ^bfire, being clothed with robes of righteousness, with crowns upon their heads, in ^cglory even as I am, to ^djudge the whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved me and kept my commandments, and none else.
           •  •  •
       14 But, behold, I say unto you that before this great ^aday shall come the ^bsun shall be ^cdarkened, and the moon shall be turned into blood, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and there shall be greater ^dsigns in heaven above and in the earth beneath;
           •  •  •
       22 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when the ^athousand years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then will I spare the earth but for a ^blittle season;
           •  •  •
       26 But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall pass away, ^aMichael, mine archangel, shall sound his ^btrump, and then shall all the dead ^cawake, for their graves shall be opened, and they shall ^dcome forth—yea, even all.
           •  •  •
       29 And now, behold, I say unto you, never at any time have I declared from mine own mouth that they should return, for ^awhere I am they cannot come, for they have no power.
           •  •  •
       33 ^aSpeaking unto you that you may naturally understand; but unto myself my works have no ^bend, neither beginning; but it is given unto you that ye may understand, because ye have asked it of me and are agreed.
       34 Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a ^alaw which was ^btemporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created.
           •  •  •
       42 But, behold, I say unto you that I, the Lord God, gave unto Adam and unto his seed, that they should not ^adie as to the temporal death, until I, the Lord God, should send forth ^bangels to declare unto them ^crepentance and ^dredemption, through faith on the name of mine ^eOnly Begotten Son.
           •  •  •
       46 But behold, I say unto you, that little ^achildren are ^bredeemed from the foundation of the world through mine Only Begotten;
           •  •  •
       49 And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have I not commanded to ^arepent?
       50 And he that hath no ^aunderstanding, it remaineth in me to do according as it is written. And now I declare no more unto you at this time. Amen.
276. D&C 30: 1, 4-5, 9
       1 Behold, I say unto you, David, that you have ^afeared man and have not ^brelied on me for strength as you ought.
           •  •  •
       4 And your home shall be at your ^afather’s house, until I give unto you further commandments. And you shall attend to the ^bministry in the church, and before the world, and in the regions round about. Amen.
       5 Behold, I say unto you, Peter, that you shall take your ^ajourney with your brother Oliver; for the ^btime has come that it is expedient in me that you shall open your mouth to declare my gospel; therefore, fear not, but give ^cheed unto the words and advice of your brother, which he shall give you.
           •  •  •
       9 Behold, I say unto you, my servant John, that thou shalt commence from this time forth to ^aproclaim my gospel, as with the ^bvoice of a trump.
277. D&C 31: 6, 10
       6 Behold, verily I say unto you, go from them only for a little ^atime, and declare my word, and I will prepare a place for them.
           •  •  •
       10 Behold, I say unto you that you shall be a physician unto the church, but not unto the world, for they will not receive you.
278. D&C 33: 1-2, 5, 7, 12, 18
       1 Behold, I say unto you, my servants ^aEzra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose ^bword is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and ^cintents of the heart.
       2 For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the ^asound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and ^bperverse generation.
           •  •  •
       5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this ^achurch have I ^bestablished and called forth out of the ^cwilderness.
           •  •  •
       7 Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is ^awhite already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.
           •  •  •
       12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my ^agospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;
           •  •  •
       18 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I ^acome quickly. Even so. Amen.
279. D&C 34: 1, 7, 12
       1 My son ^aOrson, hearken and hear and behold what I, the Lord God, shall say unto you, even Jesus Christ your Redeemer;
           •  •  •
       7 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, the ^atime is soon at hand that I shall ^bcome in a ^ccloud with power and great glory.
           •  •  •
       12 And verily, verily, I say unto you, I come ^aquickly. I am your ^bLord and your Redeemer. Even so. Amen.
280. D&C 35: 22
       22 And now I say unto you, ^atarry with him, and he shall journey with you; forsake him not, and surely these things shall be fulfilled.
281. D&C 36: 1, 4
       1 Thus saith the Lord God, the ^aMighty One of Israel: Behold, I say unto you, my servant ^bEdward, that you are blessed, and your sins are forgiven you, and you are called to preach my gospel as with the voice of a trump;
           •  •  •
       4 And now this calling and commandment give I unto you concerning all men—
282. D&C 37: 1-2
       1 Behold, I say unto you that it is not expedient in me that ye should ^atranslate any more until ye shall go to the Ohio, and this because of the enemy and for your sakes.
       2 And again, I say unto you that ye shall not go until ye have preached my gospel in those parts, and have ^astrengthened up the church whithersoever it is found, and more especially in ^bColesville; for, behold, they pray unto me in much faith.
283. D&C 38: 7, 10, 13-14, 16, 18-19, 21, 23, 25, 27-28, 30, 32, 39-40
       7 But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine ^aeyes are upon you. I am in your ^bmidst and ye cannot ^csee me;
           •  •  •
       10 Verily I say unto you, ye are ^aclean, but not all; and there is none else with whom I am well ^bpleased;
           •  •  •
       13 And now I show unto you a mystery, a thing which is had in secret chambers, to bring to pass even your ^adestruction in process of time, and ye knew it not;
       14 But now I tell it unto you, and ye are blessed, not because of your iniquity, neither your hearts of unbelief; for verily some of you are ^aguilty before me, but I will be merciful unto your ^bweakness.
           •  •  •
       16 And for your salvation I give unto you a commandment, for I have heard your ^aprayers, and the ^bpoor have complained before me, and the ^crich have I made, and all flesh is mine, and I am no ^drespecter of persons.
           •  •  •
       18 And I hold forth and deign to give unto you greater riches, even a land of ^apromise, a land ^bflowing with milk and honey, upon which there shall be no ^ccurse when the Lord cometh;
       19 And I will give it unto you for the land of your inheritance, if you seek it with all your hearts.
           •  •  •
       21 But, verily I say unto you that in time ye shall have no ^aking nor ruler, for I will be your king and watch over you.
           •  •  •
       23 But, verily I say unto you, ^ateach one another according to the office wherewith I have appointed you;
           •  •  •
       25 And again I say unto you, let every man esteem his ^abrother as himself.
           •  •  •
       27 Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be ^aone; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.
       28 And again, I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your ^alives.
           •  •  •
       30 I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, ^atreasure up ^bwisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.
           •  •  •
       32 Wherefore, for this cause I gave unto you the ^acommandment that ye should go to the ^bOhio; and there I will give unto you my ^claw; and there you shall be ^dendowed with power from on high;
           •  •  •
       39 And if ye seek the ^ariches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the ^briches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of ^cpride, lest ye become as the ^dNephites of old.
       40 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you a commandment, that every man, both elder, priest, teacher, and also member, go to with his might, with the ^alabor of his ^bhands, to prepare and accomplish the things which I have commanded.
284. D&C 39: 5, 7, 16
       5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth my gospel ^areceiveth me; and he that ^breceiveth not my gospel receiveth not me.
           •  •  •
       7 And now, behold, I say unto you, my servant ^aJames, I have looked upon thy works and I ^bknow thee.
           •  •  •
       16 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the people in Ohio call upon me in much faith, thinking I will ^astay my hand in judgment upon the nations, but I cannot ^bdeny my word.
285. D&C 40: 1
       1 Behold, verily I say unto you, that the heart of my servant ^aJames Covill was right before me, for he covenanted with me that he would obey my word.
286. D&C 41: 2, 12
       2 Hearken, O ye elders of my church whom I have called, behold I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall assemble yourselves together to ^aagree upon my word;
           •  •  •
       12 These words are given unto you, and they are pure before me; wherefore, beware how you hold them, for they are to be answered upon your ^asouls in the day of judgment. Even so. Amen.
287. D&C 42: 2, 4, 9-11, 14, 58, 62, 65, 69, 74, 76
       2 Again I say unto you, hearken and hear and obey the ^alaw which I shall give unto you.
           •  •  •
       4 Behold, verily I say unto you, I give unto you this first commandment, that ye shall ^ago forth in my name, every one of you, excepting my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon.
           •  •  •
       9 Until the time shall come when it shall be revealed unto you from on high, when the ^acity of the ^bNew Jerusalem shall be prepared, that ye may be ^cgathered in one, that ye may be my ^dpeople and I will be your God.
       10 And again, I say unto you, that my servant ^aEdward Partridge shall stand in the office whereunto I have ^bappointed him. And it shall come to pass, that if he transgress ^canother shall be appointed in his stead. Even so. Amen.
       11 Again I say unto you, that it shall not be given to any one to go forth to ^apreach my gospel, or to build up my church, except he be ^bordained by some one who has ^cauthority, and it is known to the church that he has authority and has been regularly ordained by the heads of the church.
           •  •  •
       14 And the Spirit shall be given unto you ^aby the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the ^bSpirit ye shall not teach.
           •  •  •
       58 And I give unto you a commandment that then ye shall teach them unto all men; for they shall be ^ataught unto ^ball ^cnations, kindreds, tongues and people.
           •  •  •
       62 Thou shalt ask, and it shall be revealed unto you in mine own due time where the ^aNew Jerusalem shall be built.
           •  •  •
       65 Behold, thou shalt observe all these things, and great shall be thy ^areward; for unto you it is given to know the ^bmysteries of the kingdom, but unto the world it is not given to know them.
           •  •  •
       69 Lift up your hearts and rejoice, for unto you the ^akingdom, or in other words, the ^bkeys of the church have been given. Even so. Amen.
           •  •  •
       74 Behold, verily I say unto you, that whatever persons among you, having put away their ^acompanions for the cause of ^bfornication, or in other words, if they shall testify before you in all lowliness of heart that this is the case, ye shall not cast them out from among you;
           •  •  •
       76 And again, I say unto you, that ye shall be ^awatchful and careful, with all inquiry, that ye receive none such among you if they are married;
288. D&C 43: 1-8, 13, 27
       1 O hearken, ye elders of my church, and give ear to the words which I shall speak unto you.
       2 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye have received a commandment for a ^alaw unto my church, through him whom I have appointed unto you to receive commandments and ^brevelations from my hand.
       3 And this ye shall know assuredly—that there is ^anone other appointed unto you to receive ^bcommandments and revelations until he be taken, if he ^cabide in me.
       4 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that ^anone else shall be appointed unto this gift except it be through him; for if it be taken from him he shall not have power except to appoint another in his stead.
       5 And this shall be a law unto you, that ye ^areceive not the ^bteachings of any that shall come before you as revelations or commandments;
       6 And this I give unto you that you may not be ^adeceived, that you may know they are not of me.
       7 For verily I say unto you, that he that is ^aordained of me shall come in at the ^bgate and be ordained as I have told you before, to teach those ^crevelations which you have received and shall receive through him whom I have appointed.
       8 And now, behold, I give unto you a ^acommandment, that when ye are ^bassembled together ye shall ^cinstruct and ^dedify each other, that ye may know ^ehow to act and direct my church, how to act upon the points of my law and commandments, which I have given.
           •  •  •
       13 And again, I say unto you, that if ye desire the ^amysteries of the kingdom, provide for him food and raiment, and whatsoever thing he needeth to accomplish the work wherewith I have commanded him;
           •  •  •
       27 Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God.
289. D&C 44: 1, 6
       1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, it is expedient in me that the elders of my church should be ^acalled together, from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, by letter or some other way.
           •  •  •
       6 Behold, I say unto you, that ye must ^avisit the poor and the needy and administer to their relief, that they may be kept until all things may be done according to my law which ye have received. Amen.
290. D&C 45: 7, 10-11, 15-17, 19, 35, 57, 60-63, 65, 72
       7 For verily I say unto you that I am ^aAlpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world—a ^blight that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
           •  •  •
       10 Wherefore, come ye unto it, and with him that cometh I will ^areason as with men in days of old, and I will show unto you my strong reasoning.
       11 Wherefore, hearken ye together and let me show unto you even my ^awisdom—the wisdom of him whom ye say is the God of ^bEnoch, and his brethren,
           •  •  •
       15 Wherefore, hearken and I will reason with you, and I will ^aspeak unto you and prophesy, as unto men in days of old.
       16 And I will show it plainly as I showed it unto my ^adisciples as I stood before them in the flesh, and spake unto them, saying: As ye have asked of me concerning the ^bsigns of my coming, in the day when I shall come in my ^cglory in the clouds of heaven, to fulfil the promises that I have made unto your fathers,
       17 For as ye have looked upon the long ^aabsence of your ^bspirits from your bodies to be a bondage, I will show unto you how the day of redemption shall come, and also the ^crestoration of the ^dscattered Israel.
           •  •  •
       19 But, verily I say unto you, that ^adesolation shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night, and this people shall be destroyed and ^bscattered among all nations.
           •  •  •
       35 And I said unto them: Be not ^atroubled, for, when all these things shall come to pass, ye may know that the promises which have been made unto you shall be fulfilled.
           •  •  •
       57 For they that are wise and have received the ^atruth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their ^bguide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the ^cfire, but shall abide the day.
           •  •  •
       60 And now, behold, I say unto you, it shall not be given unto you to know any further concerning this chapter, until the ^aNew ^bTestament be translated, and in it all these things shall be made known;
       61 Wherefore I give unto you that ye may now translate it, that ye may be prepared for the things to come.
       62 For verily I say unto you, that great things await you;
       63 Ye hear of ^awars in foreign lands; but, behold, I say unto you, they are nigh, even at your ^bdoors, and not many years hence ye shall hear of wars in your own lands.
           •  •  •
       65 And with one heart and with one mind, gather up your riches that ye may ^apurchase an inheritance which shall hereafter be appointed unto you.
           •  •  •
       72 And now I say unto you, keep these things from going abroad unto the world until it is expedient in me, that ye may accomplish this work in the eyes of the people, and in the eyes of your enemies, that they may not know your works until ye have accomplished the thing which I have commanded you;
291. D&C 46: 1, 5-7, 9-10, 17, 31
       1 Hearken, O ye people of my church; for verily I say unto you that these things were spoken unto you for your ^aprofit and learning.
           •  •  •
       5 And again I say unto you, ye shall not cast any out of your sacrament meetings who are earnestly ^aseeking the kingdom—I speak this concerning those who are not of the church.
       6 And again I say unto you, concerning your ^aconfirmation meetings, that if there be any that are not of the church, that are earnestly seeking after the kingdom, ye shall not cast them out.
       7 But ye are commanded in all things to ^aask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all ^bholiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, ^cconsidering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and ^dthanksgiving, that ye may not be ^eseduced by evil ^fspirits, or doctrines of devils, or the ^gcommandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
           •  •  •
       9 For verily I say unto you, they are given for the benefit of those who love me and keep all my commandments, and him that seeketh so to do; that all may be benefited that seek or that ask of me, that ask and not for a ^asign that they may ^bconsume it upon their lusts.
       10 And again, verily I say unto you, I would that ye should always remember, and always retain in your ^aminds what those ^bgifts are, that are given unto the church.
           •  •  •
       17 And again, verily I say unto you, to some is given, by the Spirit of God, the word of ^awisdom.
           •  •  •
       31 And again, I say unto you, all things must be done in the name of Christ, whatsoever you do in the Spirit;
292. D&C 47: 2-3
       2 Again, verily I say unto you that he can also ^alift up his voice in meetings, whenever it shall be expedient.
       3 And again, I say unto you that it shall be appointed unto him to keep the church ^arecord and history continually; for Oliver Cowdery I have appointed to another office.
      
293. D&C 49: 1-2, 9, 11, 15, 22, 26
       1 Hearken unto my word, my servants Sidney, and Parley, and Leman; for behold, verily I say unto you, that I give unto you a commandment that you shall go and ^apreach my gospel which ye have received, even as ye have received it, unto the Shakers.
       2 Behold, I say unto you, that they desire to know the truth in part, but not all, for they are not ^aright before me and must needs repent.
           •  •  •
       9 Wherefore, I say unto you that I have sent unto you mine everlasting ^acovenant, even that which was from the beginning.
           •  •  •
       11 Wherefore, I give unto you a commandment that ye ^ago among this people, and say unto them, like unto mine apostle of old, whose name was ^bPeter:
           •  •  •
       15 And again, verily I say unto you, that whoso ^aforbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for ^bmarriage is ordained of God unto man.
           •  •  •
       22 And again, verily I say unto you, that the Son of Man ^acometh not in the form of a woman, neither of a man traveling on the earth.
           •  •  •
       26 Behold, I say unto you, go forth as I have commanded you; repent of all your sins; ^aask and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you.
294. D&C 50: 1-2, 7, 16-17, 25, 30-32, 36
       1 Hearken, O ye elders of my church, and give ear to the ^avoice of the living God; and attend to the words of wisdom which shall be given unto you, according as ye have asked and are agreed as touching the church, and the ^bspirits which have gone abroad in the earth.
       2 Behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many spirits which are false ^aspirits, which have gone forth in the earth, deceiving the world.
           •  •  •
       7 Behold, verily I say unto you, there are ^ahypocrites among you, who have deceived some, which has given the ^badversary ^cpower; but behold ^dsuch shall be reclaimed;
           •  •  •
       16 Behold ye shall answer this question yourselves; nevertheless, I will be ^amerciful unto you; he that is weak among you hereafter shall be made ^bstrong.
       17 Verily I say unto you, he that is ordained of me and sent forth to ^apreach the word of truth by the Comforter, in the Spirit of truth, doth he ^bpreach it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?
           •  •  •
       25 And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the ^atruth, that you may chase darkness from among you;
           •  •  •
       30 But know this, it shall be given you what you shall ^aask; and as ye are appointed to the ^bhead, the spirits shall be subject unto you.
       31 Wherefore, it shall come to pass, that if you behold a ^aspirit manifested that you cannot understand, and you receive not that spirit, ye shall ask of the Father in the name of Jesus; and if he give not unto you that spirit, then you may know that it is not of God.
       32 And it shall be given unto you, ^apower over that spirit; and you shall proclaim against that spirit with a loud voice that it is ^bnot of God—
           •  •  •
       36 And behold, verily I say unto you, blessed are you who are now hearing these words of mine from the mouth of my servant, for your sins are ^aforgiven you.
295. D&C 51: 20
       20 Verily, I say unto you, I am Jesus Christ, who ^acometh quickly, in an ^bhour you think not. Even so. Amen.
296. D&C 52: 2-3, 7, 14, 22, 35, 38
       2 Saying: I, the Lord, will make known unto you what I will that ye shall do from this time until the next conference, which shall be held in Missouri, upon the ^aland which I will ^bconsecrate unto my people, which are a ^cremnant of Jacob, and those who are heirs according to the ^dcovenant.
       3 Wherefore, verily I say unto you, let my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon take their journey as soon as preparations can be made to leave their homes, and journey to the land of ^aMissouri.
           •  •  •
       7 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant Lyman Wight and my servant John Corrill take their journey speedily;
           •  •  •
       14 And again, I will give unto you a pattern in all things, that ye may not be deceived; for Satan is abroad in the land, and he goeth forth ^adeceiving the nations—
           •  •  •
       22 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant ^aThomas B. Marsh and my servant ^bEzra Thayre take their journey also, preaching the word by the way unto this same land.
           •  •  •
       35 And again, I say unto you, let my servants Joseph Wakefield and Solomon Humphrey take their journey into the eastern lands;
           •  •  •
       38 And again, verily I say unto you, let Jared Carter be ^aordained a priest, and also George James be ordained a ^bpriest.
297. D&C 53: 1-2, 5
       1 Behold, I say unto you, my servant Sidney Gilbert, that I have heard your prayers; and you have called upon me that it should be made known unto you, of the Lord your God, concerning your ^acalling and ^belection in the church, which I, the Lord, have raised up in these last days.
       2 Behold, I, the Lord, who was ^acrucified for the sins of the world, give unto you a commandment that you shall ^bforsake the world.
           •  •  •
       5 And again, verily I say unto you, you shall take your journey with my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon.
298. D&C 54: 2, 9
       2 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, my servant Newel Knight, you shall stand fast in the office whereunto I have appointed you.
           •  •  •
       9 And after you have done journeying, behold, I say unto you, seek ye a ^aliving like unto men, until I prepare a place for you.
299. D&C 55: 1, 5
       1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant William, yea, even the Lord of the whole ^aearth, thou art called and chosen; and after thou hast been ^bbaptized by water, which if you do with an eye single to my glory, you shall have a remission of your sins and a reception of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of ^chands;
           •  •  •
       5 And again, verily I say unto you, for this cause you shall take your journey with my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that you may be ^aplanted in the land of your inheritance to do this work.
300. D&C 56: 8, 16-17, 20
       8 And again, verily I say unto you, that my servant Ezra Thayre must repent of his ^apride, and of his ^bselfishness, and obey the former commandment which I have given him concerning the place upon which he lives.
           •  •  •
       16 Wo unto you ^arich men, that will not ^bgive your substance to the ^cpoor, for your ^driches will canker your souls; and this shall be your lamentation in the day of visitation, and of judgment, and of indignation: The ^eharvest is past, the summer is ended, and my soul is not saved!
       17 Wo unto you ^apoor men, whose hearts are not broken, whose spirits are not contrite, and whose bellies are not satisfied, and whose hands are not stayed from laying hold upon other men’s goods, whose eyes are full of ^bgreediness, and who will not ^clabor with your own hands!
           •  •  •
       20 And their generations shall ^ainherit the earth from generation to generation, forever and ever. And now I make an end of speaking unto you. Even so. Amen.
301. D&C 57: 8, 11
       8 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant Sidney Gilbert plant himself in this place, and establish a ^astore, that he may sell goods ^bwithout fraud, that he may obtain money to buy ^clands for the good of the saints, and that he may obtain whatsoever things the disciples may need to plant them in their inheritance.
           •  •  •
       11 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant ^aWilliam W. Phelps be planted in this place, and be established as a ^bprinter unto the church.
302. D&C 58: 2, 6, 19, 34, 52
       2 For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that ^akeepeth my commandments, whether in life or in ^bdeath; and he that is ^cfaithful in ^dtribulation, the ^ereward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
           •  •  •
       6 Behold, verily I say unto you, for this cause I have sent you—that you might be obedient, and that your hearts might be ^aprepared to ^bbear ^ctestimony of the things which are to come;
           •  •  •
       19 For verily I say unto you, my law shall be kept on this land.
           •  •  •
       34 And now I give unto you further directions concerning this land.
           •  •  •
       52 For, behold, verily I say unto you, the Lord willeth that the disciples and the children of men should open their hearts, even to purchase this whole region of country, as soon as time will permit.
303. D&C 59: 10
       10 For verily this is a ^aday appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High;
304. D&C 60: 5
       5 But, verily, I will speak unto you concerning your journey unto the land from whence you came. Let there be a craft made, or bought, as ^aseemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me, and take your journey speedily for the place which is called St. Louis.
305. D&C 61: 2-3, 13, 18, 21, 26, 29-30, 36
       2 Behold, verily thus saith the Lord unto you, O ye elders of my church, who are assembled upon this spot, whose sins are now forgiven you, for I, the Lord, ^aforgive sins, and am ^bmerciful unto those who ^cconfess their sins with humble hearts;
       3 But verily I say unto you, that it is not needful for this whole company of mine elders to be moving swiftly upon the waters, whilst the inhabitants on either side are perishing in unbelief.
           •  •  •
       13 And now, behold, for your ^agood I gave unto you a ^bcommandment concerning these things; and I, the Lord, will reason with you as with men in days of old.
           •  •  •
       18 And now I give unto you a commandment that what I say unto one I say unto all, that you shall forewarn your brethren concerning these waters, that they come not in journeying upon them, lest their faith fail and they are caught in snares;
           •  •  •
       21 Wherefore, let those concerning whom I have spoken, that should take their journey in haste—again I say unto you, let them take their journey in haste.
           •  •  •
       26 And, behold, this commandment you shall give unto all your brethren.
           •  •  •
       29 And unto you is given the course for the saints, or the way for the saints of the camp of the Lord, to journey.
       30 And again, verily I say unto you, my servants, Sidney Rigdon, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, shall not open their mouths in the ^acongregations of the wicked until they arrive at Cincinnati;
           •  •  •
       36 And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good ^acheer, ^blittle children; for I am in your ^cmidst, and I have not ^dforsaken you;
306. D&C 63: 8, 16, 19, 22, 55, 57
       8 Verily, I say unto you, there are those among you who seek signs, and there have been such even from the beginning;
           •  •  •
       16 And verily I say unto you, as I have said before, he that ^alooketh on a woman to ^blust after her, or if any shall commit ^cadultery in their hearts, they shall not have the ^dSpirit, but shall deny the faith and shall fear.
           •  •  •
       19 And now behold, I, the Lord, say unto you that ye are not ^ajustified, because these things are among you.
           •  •  •
       22 And now, verily I say unto you, that as I said that I would make known my will unto you, behold I will make it known unto you, ^anot by the way of commandment, for there are many who observe not to keep my commandments.
           •  •  •
       55 And now behold, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, am not pleased with my servant ^aSidney Rigdon; he ^bexalted himself in his heart, and received not counsel, but ^cgrieved the Spirit;
           •  •  •
       57 And again, verily I say unto you, ^athose who desire in their hearts, in meekness, to ^bwarn sinners to repentance, let them be ordained unto this power.
307. D&C 64: 1-2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 20, 31, 41
       1 Behold, thus saith the Lord your God unto you, O ye elders of my ^achurch, hearken ye and hear, and receive my will concerning you.
       2 For verily I say unto you, I will that ye should ^aovercome the world; wherefore I will have ^bcompassion upon you.
           •  •  •
       4 I will be merciful unto you, for I have given unto you the ^akingdom.
           •  •  •
       7 Nevertheless, he has sinned; but verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, ^aforgive sins unto those who ^bconfess their sins before me and ask forgiveness, who have not ^csinned unto ^ddeath.
           •  •  •
       9 Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to ^aforgive one another; for he that ^bforgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin.
           •  •  •
       12 And him that ^arepenteth not of his sins, and ^bconfesseth them not, ye shall bring before the ^cchurch, and do with him as the ^dscripture saith unto you, either by commandment or by revelation.
           •  •  •
       20 And again, I say unto you, that my servant Isaac Morley may not be ^atempted above that which he is able to bear, and counsel wrongfully to your hurt, I gave commandment that his farm should be sold.
           •  •  •
       31 And behold, I, the Lord, declare unto you, and my ^awords are sure and shall not ^bfail, that they shall obtain it.
           •  •  •
       41 For, behold, I say unto you that ^aZion shall flourish, and the ^bglory of the Lord shall be upon her;
308. D&C 66: 2-5, 9
       2 Verily I say unto you, blessed are you for receiving mine ^aeverlasting covenant, even the fulness of my gospel, sent forth unto the children of men, that they might have ^blife and be made ^cpartakers of the ^dglories which are to be revealed in the last days, as it was written by the prophets and apostles in days of old.
       3 Verily I say unto you, my servant William, that you are clean, but not ^aall; repent, therefore, of those things which are not pleasing in my sight, saith the Lord, for the Lord will ^bshow them unto you.
       4 And now, verily, I, the Lord, will show unto you what I ^awill concerning you, or what is my will concerning you.
       5 Behold, verily I say unto you, that it is my will that you should ^aproclaim my gospel from land to land, and from ^bcity to city, yea, in those regions round about where it has not been proclaimed.
           •  •  •
       9 Lay your ^ahands upon the ^bsick, and they shall ^crecover. Return not till I, the Lord, shall send you. Be patient in affliction. ^dAsk, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
309. D&C 67: 3-4, 10
       3 Ye endeavored to ^abelieve that ye should receive the blessing which was offered unto you; but behold, verily I say unto you there were ^bfears in your hearts, and verily this is the reason that ye did not receive.
       4 And now I, the Lord, give unto you a ^atestimony of the truth of these commandments which are lying before you.
           •  •  •
       10 And again, verily I say unto you that it is your privilege, and a ^apromise I give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that inasmuch as you ^bstrip yourselves from ^cjealousies and ^dfears, and ^ehumble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the ^fveil shall be rent and you shall ^gsee me and know that I am—not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual.
310. D&C 68: 5, 7, 11
       5 Behold, this is the promise of the Lord unto you, O ye my servants.
           •  •  •
       7 This is the word of the Lord unto you, my servant Orson Hyde, and also unto my servant Luke Johnson, and unto my servant Lyman Johnson, and unto my servant ^aWilliam E. McLellin, and unto all the faithful elders of my church—
           •  •  •
       11 And unto you it shall be given to know the signs of the ^atimes, and the ^bsigns of the coming of the Son of Man;
311. D&C 71: 1-3, 9
       1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in ^aproclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the ^bmysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.
       2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be ^amade known unto you.
       3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
           •  •  •
       9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no ^aweapon that is formed against you shall prosper;
312. D&C 72: 2, 5, 8, 16, 19
       2 For verily thus saith the Lord, it is expedient in me for a ^abishop to be appointed unto you, or of you, unto the church in this part of the Lord’s vineyard.
           •  •  •
       5 Verily I say unto you, the elders of the church in this part of my vineyard shall render an account of their stewardship unto the ^abishop, who shall be appointed of me in this part of my vineyard.
           •  •  •
       8 And now, verily I say unto you, my servant ^aNewel K. Whitney is the man who shall be appointed and ordained unto this power. This is the will of the Lord your God, your Redeemer. Even so. Amen.
           •  •  •
       16 And now, verily I say unto you, that as every elder in this part of the vineyard must give an account of his stewardship unto the bishop in this part of the vineyard—
           •  •  •
       19 And now, verily I say unto you, let every elder who shall give an account unto the bishop of the church in this part of the vineyard be ^arecommended by the church or churches, in which he labors, that he may render himself and his accounts approved in all things.
313. D&C 73: 3, 6
       3 Now, verily I say unto you my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, saith the Lord, it is ^aexpedient to ^btranslate again;
           •  •  •
       6 Now I give no more unto you at this time. ^aGird up your loins and be sober. Even so. Amen.
314. D&C 75: 1, 3, 23-25, 28
       1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I who speak even by the ^avoice of my Spirit, even ^bAlpha and Omega, your Lord and your God—
           •  •  •
       3 Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be ^aidle but ^blabor with your might—
           •  •  •
       23 And again, thus saith the Lord unto you, O ye elders of my church, who have ^agiven your names that you might know his will concerning you—
       24 Behold, I say unto you, that it is the ^aduty of the church to assist in ^bsupporting the families of those, and also to support the families of those who are called and must needs be sent unto the world to proclaim the gospel unto the world.
       25 Wherefore, I, the Lord, give unto you this commandment, that ye obtain places for your ^afamilies, inasmuch as your brethren are willing to open their hearts.
           •  •  •
       28 And again, verily I say unto you, that every ^aman who is obliged to ^bprovide for his own ^cfamily, let him provide, and he shall in nowise lose his crown; and let him labor in the church.
315. D&C 78: 2-3, 7, 11, 13, 17
       2 And listen to the ^acounsel of him who has ^bordained you from on high, who shall speak in your ears the words of ^cwisdom, that salvation may be unto you in that thing which you have presented before me, saith the Lord God.
       3 For verily I say unto you, the time has come, and is now at hand; and behold, and lo, it must needs be that there be an ^aorganization of my people, in regulating and establishing the affairs of the ^bstorehouse for the ^cpoor of my people, both in this place and in the land of ^dZion—
           •  •  •
       7 For if you will that I give unto you a place in the ^acelestial world, you must ^bprepare yourselves by ^cdoing the things which I have commanded you and required of you.
           •  •  •
       11 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, to prepare and organize yourselves by a ^abond or everlasting ^bcovenant that cannot be broken.
           •  •  •
       13 Behold, this is the preparation wherewith I prepare you, and the foundation, and the ^aensample which I give unto you, whereby you may accomplish the commandments which are given you;
           •  •  •
       17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are ^alittle children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
316. D&C 79: 1
       1 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that my servant Jared Carter should go again into the eastern countries, from place to place, and from city to city, in the power of the ^aordination wherewith he has been ordained, proclaiming glad tidings of great joy, even the ^beverlasting gospel.
317. D&C 80: 1-2
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant ^aStephen Burnett: Go ye, go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every ^bcreature that cometh under the sound of your voice.
       2 And inasmuch as you desire a companion, I will give unto you my servant ^aEden Smith.
318. D&C 81: 1, 3, 5
       1 Verily, verily, I say unto you my servant Frederick G. Williams: Listen to the voice of him who speaketh, to the word of the Lord your God, and hearken to the calling wherewith you are called, even to be a ^ahigh priest in my church, and a ^bcounselor unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun.;
           •  •  •
       3 Therefore, verily I acknowledge him and will bless him, and also thee, inasmuch as thou art faithful in counsel, in the office which I have appointed unto you, in prayer always, vocally and in thy heart, in public and in private, also in thy ^aministry in proclaiming the gospel in the ^bland of the living, and among thy brethren.
           •  •  •
       5 Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; ^asuccor the ^bweak, lift up the hands which hang down, and ^cstrengthen the ^dfeeble knees.
319. D&C 82: 1-2, 4, 7-9, 11, 14-15, 20, 22
       1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, my servants, that inasmuch as you have ^aforgiven one another your trespasses, even so I, the Lord, forgive you.
       2 Nevertheless, there are those among you who have sinned exceedingly; yea, even ^aall of you have sinned; but verily I say unto you, beware from henceforth, and ^brefrain from sin, lest sore judgments fall upon your heads.
           •  •  •
       4 Ye call upon my name for ^arevelations, and I give them unto you; and inasmuch as ye keep not my sayings, which I give unto you, ye become transgressors; and ^bjustice and judgment are the penalty which is affixed unto my law.
           •  •  •
       7 And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any ^asin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the ^bformer sins return, saith the Lord your God.
       8 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you a ^anew commandment, that you may understand my will concerning you;
       9 Or, in other words, I give unto you directions how you may ^aact before me, that it may ^bturn to you for your salvation.
           •  •  •
       11 Therefore, verily I say unto you, that it is expedient for my servants Edward Partridge and Newel K. Whitney, A. Sidney Gilbert and Sidney Rigdon, and my servant Joseph Smith, and John Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery, and W. W. Phelps and Martin Harris to be bound ^atogether by a bond and covenant that cannot be ^bbroken by transgression, except judgment shall immediately follow, in your several ^cstewardships—
           •  •  •
       14 For ^aZion must increase in ^bbeauty, and in ^choliness; her borders must be enlarged; her ^dstakes must be strengthened; yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must ^earise and put on her ^fbeautiful garments.
       15 Therefore, I give unto you this commandment, that ye bind yourselves by this covenant, and it shall be done according to the laws of the Lord.
           •  •  •
       20 This order I have appointed to be an ^aeverlasting ^border unto you, and unto your successors, inasmuch as you sin not.
           •  •  •
       22 And now, verily I say unto you, and this is wisdom, make unto yourselves friends with the ^amammon of unrighteousness, and they will not destroy you.
320. D&C 84: 43, 59-61, 63-64, 73-75, 77, 92, 103, 117
       43 And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give ^adiligent ^bheed to the words of eternal life.
           •  •  •
       59 For shall the children of the kingdom ^apollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay.
       60 Verily, verily, I say unto you who now hear my ^awords, which are my voice, blessed are ye inasmuch as you receive these things;
       61 For I will ^aforgive you of your sins with this commandment—that you remain ^bsteadfast in your minds in ^csolemnity and the spirit of prayer, in bearing ^dtestimony to all the world of those things which are communicated unto you.
           •  •  •
       63 And as I said unto mine apostles, even so I say unto you, for you are mine ^aapostles, even God’s high priests; ye are they whom my Father hath ^bgiven me; ye are my ^cfriends;
       64 Therefore, as I said unto mine apostles I say unto you again, that every ^asoul who ^bbelieveth on your words, and is baptized by water for the ^cremission of sins, shall ^dreceive the Holy Ghost.
           •  •  •
       73 But a commandment I give unto them, that they shall not ^aboast themselves of these things, neither speak them before the world; for these things are given unto you for your profit and for salvation.
       74 Verily, verily, I say unto you, they who believe not on your words, and are not ^abaptized in water in my name, for the ^bremission of their sins, that they may receive the Holy Ghost, shall be ^cdamned, and shall not come into my Father’s kingdom where my Father and I am.
       75 And this revelation unto you, and commandment, is in force from this very hour upon all the ^aworld, and the gospel is unto all who have not received it.
           •  •  •
       77 And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall call you ^afriends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them, traveling to preach the gospel in my power;
           •  •  •
       92 He that receiveth you not, go away from him alone by yourselves, and ^acleanse your feet even with water, pure water, whether in heat or in cold, and bear testimony of it unto your Father which is in heaven, and return not again unto that man.
           •  •  •
       103 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, it is expedient that every man who goes forth to proclaim mine everlasting gospel, that inasmuch as they have ^afamilies, and receive ^bmoney by gift, that they should send it unto them or make use of it for their benefit, as the Lord shall direct them, for thus it seemeth me good.
           •  •  •
       117 And verily I say unto you, the rest of my servants, go ye forth as your circumstances shall permit, in your several callings, unto the great and notable cities and villages, ^areproving the world in righteousness of all their unrighteous and ungodly deeds, setting forth clearly and understandingly the desolation of ^babomination in the last days.
321. D&C 86: 1, 5, 8
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the ^aparable of the ^bwheat and of the tares:
           •  •  •
       5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the ^aangels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to ^breap down the fields;
           •  •  •
       8 Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the ^apriesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers—
322. D&C 88: 1-2, 4, 14, 21, 25, 34, 42, 48, 52, 62-65, 68-69, 74-77, 85, 117, 136
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you who have assembled yourselves together to receive his will concerning you:
       2 Behold, this is pleasing unto your Lord, and the angels ^arejoice over you; the ^balms of your prayers have come up into the ears of the Lord of ^cSabaoth, and are recorded in the ^dbook of the names of the sanctified, even them of the celestial world.
           •  •  •
       4 This Comforter is the ^apromise which I give unto you of ^beternal life, even the ^cglory of the celestial kingdom;
           •  •  •
       14 Now, verily I say unto you, that through the ^aredemption which is made for you is brought to pass the resurrection from the dead.
           •  •  •
       21 And they who are not ^asanctified through the ^blaw which I have given unto you, even the law of Christ, must inherit ^canother kingdom, even that of a terrestrial kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.
           •  •  •
       25 And again, verily I say unto you, the ^aearth abideth the law of a celestial kingdom, for it filleth the ^bmeasure of its creation, and transgresseth not the law—
           •  •  •
       34 And again, verily I say unto you, that which is ^agoverned by law is also preserved by law and perfected and ^bsanctified by the same.
           •  •  •
       42 And again, verily I say unto you, he hath given a ^alaw unto all things, by which they move in their ^btimes and their seasons;
           •  •  •
       48 I say unto you, he hath seen him; nevertheless, he who came unto his ^aown was not comprehended.
           •  •  •
       52 And he said unto the first: Go ye and labor in the field, and in the first hour I will come unto you, and ye shall behold the joy of my countenance.
           •  •  •
       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—
       63 ^aDraw ^bnear unto me and I will draw near unto you; ^cseek me diligently and ye shall ^dfind me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
       64 Whatsoever ye ^aask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is ^bexpedient for you;
       65 And if ye ask anything that is not ^aexpedient for you, it shall turn unto your ^bcondemnation.
           •  •  •
       68 Therefore, ^asanctify yourselves that your ^bminds become ^csingle to God, and the days will come that you shall ^dsee him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will.
       69 Remember the great and last promise which I have made unto you; cast away your ^aidle thoughts and your ^bexcess of ^claughter far from you.
           •  •  •
       74 And I give unto you, who are the first ^alaborers in this last kingdom, a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and ^bsanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and ^ccleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you ^dclean;
       75 That I may testify unto your ^aFather, and your God, and my ^bGod, that you are clean from the ^cblood of this wicked generation; that I may fulfil this promise, this great and last ^dpromise, which I have made unto you, when I will.
       76 Also, I give unto you a commandment that ye shall continue in ^aprayer and fasting from this time forth.
       77 And I give unto you a commandment that you shall ^ateach one another the ^bdoctrine of the kingdom.
           •  •  •
       85 That their souls may escape the wrath of God, the ^adesolation of abomination which awaits the wicked, both in this world and in the world to come. Verily, I say unto you, let those who are not the ^bfirst elders continue in the vineyard until the mouth of the Lord shall ^ccall them, for their time is not yet come; their garments are not ^dclean from the blood of this generation.
           •  •  •
       117 Therefore, verily I say unto you, my ^afriends, call your solemn assembly, as I have ^bcommanded you.
           •  •  •
       136 Behold, verily, I say unto you, this is an ensample unto you for a salutation to one another in the house of God, in the school of the prophets.
323. D&C 89: 4, 10
       4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of ^aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of ^bconspiring men in the last days, I have ^cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—
           •  •  •
       10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
324. D&C 90: 1-3, 12, 19, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36
       1 Thus saith the Lord, verily, verily I say unto you my son, thy sins are ^aforgiven thee, according to thy petition, for thy prayers and the prayers of thy brethren have come up into my ears.
       2 Therefore, thou art blessed from henceforth that bear the ^akeys of the kingdom given unto you; which ^bkingdom is coming forth for the last time.
       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;
           •  •  •
       12 And now, verily I say unto you, I give unto you a commandment that you continue in the ^aministry and presidency.
           •  •  •
       19 Now, verily I say unto you, let there be a ^aplace provided, as soon as it is possible, for the family of thy counselor and scribe, even Frederick G. Williams.
           •  •  •
       28 And again, verily I say unto you, it is my will that my handmaid Vienna Jaques should receive ^amoney to bear her expenses, and go up unto the land of Zion;
           •  •  •
       30 Verily I say unto you, that it is meet in mine eyes that she should go up unto the land of Zion, and receive an ^ainheritance from the hand of the bishop;
           •  •  •
       32 And behold, verily I say unto you, that ye shall ^awrite this commandment, and say unto your brethren in Zion, in love greeting, that I have called you also to ^bpreside over Zion in mine own due time.
           •  •  •
       34 Behold, I say unto you that your brethren in Zion begin to repent, and the angels rejoice over them.
           •  •  •
       36 But verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will contend with ^aZion, and plead with her strong ones, and ^bchasten her until she overcomes and is ^cclean before me.
325. D&C 91: 1, 3
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the ^aApocrypha—There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly;
           •  •  •
       3 Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be ^atranslated.
326. D&C 92: 2
       2 And again, I say unto you my servant Frederick G. Williams, you shall be a lively member in this order; and inasmuch as you are faithful in keeping all former commandments you shall be blessed forever. Amen.
327. D&C 93: 19-21, 41, 43, 48, 51, 53
       19 I give unto you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and ^aknow what you worship, that you may come unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of his fulness.
       20 For if you keep my ^acommandments you shall receive of his ^bfulness, and be ^cglorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive ^dgrace for grace.
       21 And now, verily I say unto you, I was in the ^abeginning with the Father, and am the ^bFirstborn;
           •  •  •
       41 But verily I say unto you, my servant Frederick G. Williams, you have continued under this condemnation;
           •  •  •
       43 And now a commandment I give unto you—if you will be delivered you shall set in ^aorder your own house, for there are many things that are not right in your house.
           •  •  •
       48 Your ^afamily must needs repent and forsake some things, and give more earnest heed unto your sayings, or be removed out of their place.
           •  •  •
       51 Now, I say unto you, my friends, let my servant Sidney Rigdon go on his journey, and make haste, and also proclaim the ^aacceptable year of the Lord, and the ^bgospel of salvation, as I shall give him utterance; and by your prayer of faith with one consent I will uphold him.
           •  •  •
       53 And, verily I say unto you, that it is my will that you should ^ahasten to ^btranslate my scriptures, and to ^cobtain a ^dknowledge of history, and of countries, and of kingdoms, of ^elaws of God and man, and all this for the salvation of Zion. Amen.
328. D&C 94: 1-2, 4-6, 10, 12, 15-17
       1 And again, verily I say unto you, my ^afriends, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall commence a work of laying out and preparing a beginning and foundation of the city of the ^bstake of Zion, here in the land of Kirtland, beginning at my house.
       2 And behold, it must be done according to the ^apattern which I have given unto you.
           •  •  •
       4 Verily I say unto you, that it shall be built fifty-five by sixty-five feet in the width thereof and in the length thereof, in the inner court.
       5 And there shall be a lower court and a higher court, according to the pattern which shall be given unto you hereafter.
       6 And it shall be ^adedicated unto the Lord from the foundation thereof, according to the ^border of the priesthood, according to the pattern which shall be given unto you hereafter.
           •  •  •
       10 And again, verily I say unto you, the second lot on the south shall be dedicated unto me for the building of a house unto me, for the work of the ^aprinting of the ^btranslation of my scriptures, and all things whatsoever I shall command you.
           •  •  •
       12 And this house shall be wholly dedicated unto the Lord from the foundation thereof, for the work of the printing, in all things whatsoever I shall command you, to be holy, undefiled, according to the pattern in all things as it shall be given unto you.
           •  •  •
       15 That they may do the work which I have appointed unto them, to be a committee to build mine houses, according to the commandment, which I, the Lord God, have given unto you.
       16 These two houses are not to be built until I give unto you a commandment concerning them.
       17 And now I give unto you no more at this time. Amen.
329. D&C 95: 1, 3, 5, 7-9, 11, 13
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I ^alove I also chasten that their sins may be ^bforgiven, for with the ^cchastisement I prepare a way for their ^ddeliverance in all things out of ^etemptation, and I have loved you—
           •  •  •
       3 For ye have sinned against me a very grievous sin, in that ye have not considered the great commandment in all things, that I have given unto you concerning the building of mine ^ahouse;
           •  •  •
       5 But behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many who have been ordained among you, whom I have called but few of them are ^achosen.
           •  •  •
       7 And for this cause I gave unto you a commandment that you should call your ^asolemn assembly, that your ^bfastings and your ^cmourning might come up into the ears of the Lord of ^dSabaoth, which is by interpretation, the ^ecreator of the first day, the beginning and the end.
       8 Yea, verily I say unto you, I gave unto you a commandment that you should ^abuild a house, in the which house I design to ^bendow those whom I have ^cchosen with power from on high;
       9 For this is the ^apromise of the Father unto you; therefore I command you to tarry, even as mine apostles at Jerusalem.
           •  •  •
       11 Verily I say unto you, it is my will that you should build a house. ^aIf you keep my commandments you shall have power to build it.
           •  •  •
       13 Now here is wisdom, and the ^amind of the Lord—let the house be built, not after the manner of the world, for I give not unto you that ye shall live after the manner of the world;
330. D&C 96: 1, 5-6, 8
       1 Behold, I say unto you, here is wisdom, whereby ye may know how to act concerning this matter, for it is expedient in me that this ^astake that I have set for the strength of Zion should be made strong.
           •  •  •
       5 For behold, verily I say unto you, this is the most expedient in me, that my word should go forth unto the children of men, for the purpose of subduing the hearts of the children of men for your good. Even so. Amen.
       6 And again, verily I say unto you, it is wisdom and expedient in me, that my servant ^aJohn Johnson whose offering I have accepted, and whose prayers I have heard, unto whom I give a promise of eternal life inasmuch as he keepeth my commandments from henceforth—
           •  •  •
       8 Verily I say unto you, it is expedient in me that he should become a member of the ^aorder, that he may assist in bringing forth my word unto the children of men.
331. D&C 97: 1-3, 8, 10
       1 Verily I say unto you my friends, I speak unto you with my ^avoice, even the voice of my Spirit, that I may show unto you my will concerning your brethren in the land of ^bZion, many of whom are truly humble and are seeking diligently to learn wisdom and to find truth.
       2 Verily, verily I say unto you, blessed are such, for they shall obtain; for I, the Lord, show mercy unto all the ^ameek, and upon all whomsoever I will, that I may be ^bjustified when I shall bring them unto judgment.
       3 Behold, I say unto you, concerning the school in Zion, I, the Lord, am well pleased that there should be a ^aschool in Zion, and also with my servant ^bParley P. Pratt, for he abideth in me.
           •  •  •
       8 Verily I say unto you, all among them who know their hearts are ^ahonest, and are broken, and their spirits contrite, and are ^bwilling to observe their covenants by ^csacrifice—yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command—they are ^daccepted of me.
           •  •  •
       10 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that a ^ahouse should be built unto me in the land of Zion, like unto the ^bpattern which I have given you.
332. D&C 98: 1, 3-4, 11, 21-24, 26, 28, 39
       1 Verily I say unto you my friends, ^afear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice evermore, and in everything give ^bthanks;
           •  •  •
       3 Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been ^aafflicted shall work together for your ^bgood, and to my name’s glory, saith the Lord.
       4 And now, verily I say unto you concerning the ^alaws of the land, it is my will that my people should observe to do all things whatsoever I command them.
           •  •  •
       11 And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all ^agood, that ye shall live by every ^bword which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God.
           •  •  •
       21 Verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will ^achasten them and will do whatsoever I list, if they do not repent and observe all things whatsoever I have said unto them.
       22 And again I say unto you, if ye observe to ^ado whatsoever I command you, I, the Lord, will turn away all ^bwrath and indignation from you, and the ^cgates of hell shall not prevail against you.
       23 Now, I speak unto you concerning your families—if men will ^asmite you, or your families, once, and ye ^bbear it patiently and ^crevile not against them, neither seek ^drevenge, ye shall be ^erewarded;
       24 But if ye bear it not patiently, it shall be accounted unto you as being ^ameted out as a just measure unto you.
           •  •  •
       26 And again, if he shall smite you the third time, and ye bear it ^apatiently, your reward shall be doubled unto you four-fold;
           •  •  •
       28 And now, verily I say unto you, if that enemy shall escape my vengeance, that he be not brought into judgment before me, then ye shall see to it that ye ^awarn him in my name, that he come no more upon you, neither upon your family, even your children’s children unto the third and fourth generation.
           •  •  •
       39 And again, verily I say unto you, if after thine ^aenemy has come upon thee the first time, he repent and come unto thee praying thy forgiveness, thou shalt forgive him, and shalt hold it no more as a testimony against thine enemy—
333. D&C 99: 6
       6 And now, verily I say unto you, that it is not expedient that you should go until your children are ^aprovided for, and sent up kindly unto the bishop of Zion.
334. D&C 100: 1-2, 5, 7-8, 13
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you, my friends Sidney and Joseph, your families are well; they are in ^amine hands, and I will do with them as seemeth me good; for in me there is all power.
       2 Therefore, follow me, and listen to the counsel which I shall give unto you.
           •  •  •
       5 Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; ^aspeak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be ^bconfounded before men;
           •  •  •
       7 But a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall declare whatsoever thing ye ^adeclare in my name, in solemnity of heart, in the spirit of meekness, in all things.
       8 And I give unto you this promise, that inasmuch as ye do this the ^aHoly Ghost shall be shed forth in bearing record unto all things whatsoever ye shall say.
           •  •  •
       13 And now I give unto you a word concerning Zion. ^aZion shall be ^bredeemed, although she is chastened for a little season.
335. D&C 101: 1, 6, 9-10, 32, 43, 63, 68, 72, 76, 92-93, 96
       1 Verily I say unto you, concerning your brethren who have been afflicted, and ^apersecuted, and ^bcast out from the land of their inheritance—
           •  •  •
       6 Behold, I say unto you, there were jarrings, and ^acontentions, and ^benvyings, and ^cstrifes, and ^dlustful and covetous desires among them; therefore by these things they polluted their inheritances.
           •  •  •
       9 Verily I say unto you, notwithstanding their sins, my bowels are filled with ^acompassion towards them. I will not utterly ^bcast them off; and in the day of ^cwrath I will remember mercy.
       10 I have sworn, and the decree hath gone forth by a former commandment which I have given unto you, that I would let fall the ^asword of mine indignation in behalf of my people; and even as I have said, it shall come to pass.
           •  •  •
       32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that ^aday when the Lord shall come, he shall ^breveal all things—
           •  •  •
       43 And now, I will show unto you a parable, that you may know my will concerning the ^aredemption of Zion.
           •  •  •
       63 Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are ^awilling to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation—
           •  •  •
       68 Nevertheless, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, let not your ^agathering be in haste, nor by flight; but let all things be prepared before you.
           •  •  •
       72 Now, verily I say unto you, let all the churches gather together all their moneys; let these things be done in their time, but not in ^ahaste; and observe to have all things prepared before you.
           •  •  •
       76 And again I say unto you, those who have been scattered by their enemies, it is my will that they should continue to importune for redress, and redemption, by the hands of those who are placed as rulers and are in authority over you—
           •  •  •
       92 Pray ye, therefore, that their ears may be opened unto your cries, that I may be ^amerciful unto them, that these things may not come upon them.
       93 What I have said unto you must needs be, that all men may be left without ^aexcuse;
           •  •  •
       96 And again, I say unto you, it is contrary to my commandment and my will that my servant Sidney Gilbert should sell my ^astorehouse, which I have appointed unto my people, into the hands of mine enemies.
336. D&C 103: 1, 5, 11-12, 15, 19-21, 34-36, 40
       1 Verily I say unto you, my friends, behold, I will give unto you a revelation and commandment, that you may know how to ^aact in the discharge of your duties concerning the salvation and ^bredemption of your brethren, who have been scattered on the land of Zion;
           •  •  •
       5 But verily I say unto you, that I have decreed a decree which my people shall ^arealize, inasmuch as they hearken from this very hour unto the ^bcounsel which I, the Lord their God, shall give unto them.
           •  •  •
       11 But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return to the ^alands of their inheritances, and shall ^bbuild up the waste places of Zion.
       12 For after ^amuch tribulation, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, cometh the blessing.
           •  •  •
       15 Behold, I say unto you, the ^aredemption of Zion must needs come by power;
           •  •  •
       19 Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine ^aangel shall go up before you, but not my ^bpresence.
       20 But I say unto you: Mine ^aangels shall go up before you, and also my ^bpresence, and in time ye shall ^cpossess the goodly land.
       21 Verily, verily I say unto you, that my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., is the ^aman to whom I likened the servant to whom the Lord of the ^bvineyard spake in the parable which I have given unto you.
           •  •  •
       34 But verily I say unto you, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall not go up unto the land of Zion until you have obtained a hundred of the strength of my house, to go up with you unto the land of Zion.
       35 Therefore, as I said unto you, ask and ye shall receive; pray earnestly that peradventure my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., may go with you, and preside in the midst of my people, and organize my kingdom upon the ^aconsecrated land, and establish the children of Zion upon the laws and commandments which have been and which shall be given unto you.
       36 All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your ^adiligence, faithfulness, and ^bprayers of faith.
           •  •  •
       40 Let my servant Orson Hyde journey with my servant Orson Pratt, whithersoever my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., shall counsel them, in obtaining the fulfilment of these commandments which I have given unto you, and leave the residue in my hands. Even so. Amen.
337. D&C 104: 1, 7, 10-11, 19, 47, 54, 57-58, 63, 68, 78, 80, 83, 85-86
       1 Verily I say unto you, my friends, I give unto you counsel, and a commandment, concerning all the ^aproperties which belong to the order which I commanded to be organized and established, to be a ^bunited order, and an everlasting order for the benefit of my ^cchurch, and for the salvation of men until I come—
           •  •  •
       7 And all this that the innocent among you may not be condemned with the ^aunjust; and that the guilty among you may not escape; because I, the Lord, have promised unto you a ^bcrown of glory at my ^cright hand.
           •  •  •
       10 And I now give unto you power from this very hour, that if any man among you, of the order, is found a transgressor and repenteth not of the evil, that ye shall ^adeliver him over unto the buffetings of Satan; and he shall not have power to ^bbring evil upon you.
       11 It is wisdom in me; therefore, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall organize yourselves and appoint every man his ^astewardship;
           •  •  •
       19 And now, verily I say unto you, concerning the ^aproperties of the ^border—
           •  •  •
       47 And now, a commandment I give unto you concerning Zion, that you shall no longer be bound as a ^aunited order to your brethren of Zion, only on this wise—
           •  •  •
       54 And again, a commandment I give unto you concerning your stewardship which I have appointed unto you.
           •  •  •
       57 But, verily I say unto you, I have appointed unto you to be stewards over mine house, even stewards indeed.
       58 And for this purpose I have commanded you to organize yourselves, even to print ^amy words, the fulness of my scriptures, the revelations which I have given unto you, and which I shall, hereafter, from time to time give unto you—
           •  •  •
       63 And I give it unto you from this very hour; and now see to it, that ye go to and make use of the stewardship which I have appointed unto you, exclusive of the sacred things, for the purpose of printing these sacred things as I have said.
           •  •  •
       68 And all moneys that you receive in your stewardships, by improving upon the properties which I have appointed unto you, in houses, or in lands, or in cattle, or in all things save it be the holy and sacred writings, which I have reserved unto myself for holy and sacred purposes, shall be cast into the treasury as fast as you receive moneys, by hundreds, or by fifties, or by twenties, or by tens, or by fives.
           •  •  •
       78 And again, verily I say unto you, concerning your debts—behold it is my will that you shall ^apay all your ^bdebts.
           •  •  •
       80 And inasmuch as you are diligent and humble, and exercise the ^aprayer of faith, behold, I will soften the hearts of those to whom you are in debt, until I shall send means unto you for your ^bdeliverance.
           •  •  •
       83 I give unto you a promise, that you shall be delivered this once out of your ^abondage.
           •  •  •
       85 And pledge the properties which I have put into your hands, this once, by giving your names by common consent or otherwise, as it shall seem good unto you.
       86 I give unto you this privilege, this once; and behold, if you proceed to do the things which I have laid before you, according to my commandments, all these things are mine, and ye are my stewards, and the master will not suffer his house to be ^abroken up. Even so. Amen.
338. D&C 105: 1-2, 20, 25-26, 33, 38
       1 Verily I say unto you who have assembled yourselves together that you may learn my will concerning the ^aredemption of mine afflicted people—
       2 Behold, I say unto you, were it not for the ^atransgressions of my people, speaking concerning the church and not individuals, they might have been redeemed even now.
           •  •  •
       20 And now, verily I say unto you, a commandment I give unto you, that as many as have come up hither, that can stay in the region round about, let them stay;
           •  •  •
       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.
       26 Now, behold, I say unto you, my friends, in this way you may find favor in the eyes of the people, until the ^aarmy of Israel becomes very great.
           •  •  •
       33 Verily I say unto you, it is expedient in me that the first elders of my church should receive their ^aendowment from on high in my house, which I have commanded to be built unto my name in the land of Kirtland.
           •  •  •
       38 And again I say unto you, sue for ^apeace, not only to the people that have smitten you, but also to all people;
339. D&C 106: 4, 6
       4 And again, verily I say unto you, the ^acoming of the Lord draweth nigh, and it overtaketh the world as a ^bthief in the night—
           •  •  •
       6 And again, verily I say unto you, there was joy in heaven when my servant Warren bowed to my scepter, and separated himself from the crafts of men;
340. D&C 107: 60, 78, 85
       60 Verily, I say unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts, there must needs be ^apresiding elders to preside over those who are of the office of an elder;
           •  •  •
       78 Again, verily, I say unto you, the most important business of the church, and the most ^adifficult cases of the church, inasmuch as there is not satisfaction upon the decision of the bishop or judges, it shall be handed over and carried up unto the council of the church, before the ^bPresidency of the High Priesthood.
           •  •  •
       85 And again, verily I say unto you, the duty of a president over the office of a ^adeacon is to preside over twelve deacons, to sit in council with them, and to ^bteach them their duty, ^cedifying one another, as it is given according to the covenants.
341. D&C 108: 1, 5
       1 Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Lyman: Your sins are forgiven you, because you have obeyed my ^avoice in coming up hither this morning to receive counsel of him whom I have appointed.
           •  •  •
       5 Behold, this is the ^apromise of the Father unto you if you continue faithful.
342. D&C 111: 8
       8 And the place where it is my will that you should tarry, for the main, shall be signalized unto you by the ^apeace and power of my ^bSpirit, that shall flow unto you.
      
343. D&C 112: 1-2, 14-16, 19-21, 23, 30, 32-33
       1 Verily thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Thomas: I have heard thy prayers; and thine ^aalms have come up as a ^bmemorial before me, in behalf of those, thy brethren, who were chosen to bear testimony of my name and to ^csend it abroad among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, and ordained through the instrumentality of my servants,
       2 Verily I say unto you, there have been some few things in thine heart and with thee with which I, the Lord, was not well pleased.
           •  •  •
       14 Now, I say unto you, and what I say unto you, I say unto all the Twelve: Arise and gird up your loins, take up your ^across, follow me, and ^bfeed my sheep.
       15 Exalt not yourselves; ^arebel not against my servant Joseph; for verily I say unto you, I am with him, and my hand shall be over him; and the ^bkeys which I have given unto him, and also to youward, shall not be taken from him till I come.
       16 Verily I say unto you, my servant Thomas, thou art the man whom I have chosen to hold the ^akeys of my kingdom, as pertaining to the Twelve, abroad among all nations—
           •  •  •
       19 Wherefore, whithersoever they shall send you, go ye, and I will be with you; and in whatsoever place ye shall proclaim my name an ^aeffectual door shall be opened unto you, that they may receive my word.
       20 Whosoever ^areceiveth my word receiveth me, and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth those, the First Presidency, whom I have sent, whom I have made counselors for my name’s sake unto you.
       21 And again, I say unto you, that whosoever ye shall send in my name, by the voice of your brethren, the ^aTwelve, duly recommended and ^bauthorized by you, shall have power to open the door of my kingdom unto any nation whithersoever ye shall send them—
           •  •  •
       23 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ^adarkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become ^bcorrupt before my face.
           •  •  •
       30 For unto you, the ^aTwelve, and those, the First Presidency, who are appointed with you to be your ^bcounselors and your leaders, is the ^cpower of this priesthood given, for the last days and for the last time, in the which is the dispensation of the ^dfulness of times.
           •  •  •
       32 For verily I say unto you, the ^akeys of the dispensation, which ye have received, have ^bcome down from the fathers, and last of all, being sent down from heaven unto you.
       33 Verily I say unto you, behold how great is your calling. ^aCleanse your hearts and your garments, lest the blood of this generation be ^brequired at your hands.
344. D&C 115: 1-2, 5, 13, 17
       1 Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and also my servant Sidney Rigdon, and also my servant Hyrum Smith, and your ^acounselors who are and shall be appointed hereafter;
       2 And also unto you, my servant ^aEdward Partridge, and his counselors;
           •  •  •
       5 Verily I say unto you all: ^aArise and shine forth, that thy ^blight may be a ^cstandard for the ^dnations;
           •  •  •
       13 Verily I say unto you, let not my servant Joseph, neither my servant Sidney, neither my servant Hyrum, get in ^adebt any more for the building of a house unto my name;
           •  •  •
       17 And again, verily I say unto you, it is my will that the city of Far West should be built up speedily by the gathering of my saints;
345. D&C 117: 12, 16
       12 And again, I say unto you, I remember my servant ^aOliver Granger; behold, verily I say unto him that his name shall be had in sacred remembrance from generation to generation, forever and ever, saith the Lord.
           •  •  •
       16 And again, verily I say unto you, let all my servants in the land of Kirtland remember the Lord their God, and mine house also, to keep and preserve it holy, and to overthrow the moneychangers in mine own due time, saith the Lord. Even so. Amen.
346. D&C 119: 5-6
       5 Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of ^aZion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
       6 And I say unto you, if my people observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon, that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not be a land of ^aZion unto you.
347. D&C 121: 26
       26 God shall give unto you ^aknowledge by his Holy ^bSpirit, yea, by the unspeakable ^cgift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been ^drevealed since the world was until now;
348. D&C 124: 1-2, 12, 15, 18, 20-21, 25, 28, 31, 33, 37, 39-40, 45, 47, 49, 53, 55-56, 62, 70, 72, 74, 77, 91, 102-103, 107, 109-111, 115, 119, 121, 123-125, 127, 130-133, 137-138, 141-144
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, I am well pleased with your ^aoffering and acknowledgments, which you have made; for unto this end have I raised you up, that I might show forth my ^bwisdom through the ^cweak things of the earth.
       2 Your prayers are acceptable before me; and in answer to them I say unto you, that you are now called immediately to make a solemn ^aproclamation of my gospel, and of this ^bstake which I have planted to be a ^ccornerstone of Zion, which shall be polished with the refinement which is after the similitude of a palace.
           •  •  •
       12 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant Robert B. Thompson help you to write this proclamation, for I am well pleased with him, and that he should be with you;
           •  •  •
       15 And again, verily I say unto you, blessed is my servant Hyrum Smith; for I, the Lord, love him because of the ^aintegrity of his heart, and because he loveth that which is right before me, saith the Lord.
           •  •  •
       18 And again, I say unto you that it is my will that my servant Lyman Wight should continue in preaching for Zion, in the spirit of meekness, confessing me before the world; and I will bear him up as on ^aeagles’ wings; and he shall beget glory and honor to himself and unto my name.
           •  •  •
       20 And again, verily I say unto you, my servant George Miller is without ^aguile; he may be trusted because of the ^bintegrity of his heart; and for the love which he has to my testimony I, the Lord, love him.
       21 I therefore say unto you, I seal upon his head the office of a bishopric, like unto my ^aservant Edward Partridge, that he may receive the consecrations of mine house, that he may administer blessings upon the heads of the poor of my people, saith the Lord. Let no man despise my servant George, for he shall honor me.
           •  •  •
       25 And again, verily I say unto you, let all my saints ^acome from afar.
           •  •  •
       28 For there is not a place found on earth that he may come to and ^arestore again that which was lost unto you, or which he hath taken away, even the fulness of the priesthood.
           •  •  •
       31 But I command you, all ye my saints, to ^abuild a house unto me; and I grant unto you a sufficient time to build a house unto me; and during this time your baptisms shall be acceptable unto me.
           •  •  •
       33 For verily I say unto you, that ^aafter you have had sufficient time to build a house to me, wherein the ordinance of baptizing for the dead belongeth, and for which the same was instituted from before the foundation of the world, your baptisms for your dead cannot be acceptable unto me;
           •  •  •
       37 And again, verily I say unto you, how shall your ^awashings be acceptable unto me, except ye perform them in a house which you have built to my name?
           •  •  •
       39 Therefore, verily I say unto you, that your ^aanointings, and your washings, and your ^bbaptisms for the dead, and your ^csolemn assemblies, and your ^dmemorials for your ^esacrifices by the sons of Levi, and for your ^foracles in your most ^gholy places wherein you receive conversations, and your statutes and judgments, for the beginning of the revelations and foundation of Zion, and for the glory, honor, and endowment of all her municipals, are ordained by the ordinance of my holy house, which my people are always commanded to build unto my holy name.
       40 And verily I say unto you, let this ^ahouse be built unto my name, that I may reveal mine ordinances therein unto my people;
           •  •  •
       45 And if my people will hearken unto my voice, and unto the voice of my ^aservants whom I have appointed to lead my people, behold, verily I say unto you, they shall not be moved out of their place.
           •  •  •
       47 And it shall come to pass that if you build a house unto my name, and do not do the things that I say, I will not perform the ^aoath which I make unto you, neither fulfil the promises which ye expect at my hands, saith the Lord.
           •  •  •
       49 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that when I give a commandment to any of the sons of men to do a work unto my name, and those sons of men go with all their might and with all they have to perform that work, and cease not their ^adiligence, and their enemies come upon them and ^bhinder them from performing that work, behold, it behooveth me to ^crequire that work no more at the hands of those sons of men, but to accept of their offerings.
           •  •  •
       53 And this I make an ^aexample unto you, for your consolation concerning all those who have been commanded to do a work and have been hindered by the hands of their enemies, and by ^boppression, saith the Lord your God.
           •  •  •
       55 And again, verily I say unto you, I command you again to build a ^ahouse to my name, even in this place, that you may ^bprove yourselves unto me that ye are ^cfaithful in all things whatsoever I command you, that I may bless you, and crown you with honor, immortality, and eternal life.
       56 And now I say unto you, as pertaining to my boarding ^ahouse which I have commanded you to build for the boarding of strangers, let it be built unto my name, and let my name be named upon it, and let my servant Joseph and his house have place therein, from generation to generation.
           •  •  •
       62 Behold, verily I say unto you, let my servant George Miller, and my servant Lyman Wight, and my servant John Snider, and my servant Peter Haws, organize themselves, and appoint one of them to be a president over their quorum for the purpose of building that house.
           •  •  •
       70 And again, verily I say unto you, if my servant George Miller, and my servant Lyman Wight, and my servant John Snider, and my servant Peter Haws, receive any stock into their hands, in moneys, or in properties wherein they receive the real value of moneys, they shall not appropriate any portion of that stock to any other purpose, only in that house.
           •  •  •
       72 Verily I say unto you, let my servant Joseph pay stock into their hands for the building of that house, as seemeth him good; but my servant Joseph cannot pay over fifteen thousand dollars stock in that house, nor under fifty dollars; neither can any other man, saith the Lord.
           •  •  •
       74 Therefore, I say unto you concerning my servant Vinson Knight, if he will do my will let him put stock into that house for himself, and for his generation after him, from generation to generation.
           •  •  •
       77 Verily I say unto you, let my servant Hyrum put stock into that house as seemeth him good, for himself and his generation after him, from generation to generation.
           •  •  •
       91 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant William be appointed, ordained, and anointed, as counselor unto my servant Joseph, in the room of my servant Hyrum, that my servant Hyrum may take the office of Priesthood and ^aPatriarch, which was appointed unto him by his father, by blessing and also by right;
           •  •  •
       102 Behold, I say unto you, I have a mission in store for my servant William, and my servant Hyrum, and for them alone; and let my servant Joseph tarry at home, for he is needed. The remainder I will show unto you hereafter. Even so. Amen.
       103 And again, verily I say unto you, if my servant Sidney will serve me and be ^acounselor unto my servant Joseph, let him arise and come up and stand in the office of his calling, and humble himself before me.
           •  •  •
       107 Let him assist my servant Joseph, and also let my servant William Law assist my servant Joseph, in making a solemn ^aproclamation unto the kings of the earth, even as I have before said unto you.
           •  •  •
       109 Behold, it is not my will that he shall seek to find safety and refuge out of the city which I have appointed unto you, even the city of Nauvoo.
       110 Verily I say unto you, even now, if he will hearken unto my voice, it shall be well with him. Even so. Amen.
       111 And again, verily I say unto you, let my servant Amos Davies pay stock into the hands of those whom I have appointed to build a house for boarding, even the Nauvoo House.
           •  •  •
       115 And again, verily I say unto you, if my servant Robert D. Foster will obey my voice, let him build a house for my servant Joseph, according to the contract which he has made with him, as the door shall be open to him from time to time.
           •  •  •
       119 And again, verily I say unto you, let no man pay stock to the quorum of the Nauvoo House unless he shall be a believer in the Book of Mormon, and the revelations I have given unto you, saith the Lord your God;
           •  •  •
       121 And again, verily I say unto you, let the quorum of the Nauvoo House have a just recompense of wages for all their labors which they do in building the Nauvoo House; and let their wages be as shall be agreed among themselves, as pertaining to the price thereof.
           •  •  •
       123 Verily I say unto you, I now give unto you the ^aofficers belonging to my Priesthood, that ye may hold the ^bkeys thereof, even the Priesthood which is after the order of Melchizedek, which is after the order of mine ^cOnly Begotten Son.
       124 First, I give unto you Hyrum Smith to be a ^apatriarch unto you, to hold the ^bsealing blessings of my church, even the Holy Spirit of ^cpromise, whereby ye are ^dsealed up unto the day of redemption, that ye may not fall notwithstanding the ^ehour of temptation that may come upon you.
       125 I give unto you my servant Joseph to be a presiding elder over all my church, to be a translator, a revelator, a ^aseer, and prophet.
           •  •  •
       127 I give unto you my servant ^aBrigham Young to be a president over the Twelve traveling council;
           •  •  •
       130 David Patten I have ^ataken unto myself; behold, his ^bpriesthood no man ^ctaketh from him; but, verily I say unto you, another may be appointed unto the same calling.
       131 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you a ^ahigh council, for the corner-stone of Zion—
       132 Namely, Samuel Bent, Henry G. Sherwood, George W. Harris, Charles C. Rich, Thomas Grover, Newel Knight, David Dort, Dunbar Wilson—Seymour Brunson I have taken unto myself; no man taketh his priesthood, but another may be appointed unto the same priesthood in his stead; and verily I say unto you, let my servant Aaron Johnson be ordained unto this calling in his stead—David Fullmer, Alpheus Cutler, William Huntington.
       133 And again, I give unto you Don C. Smith to be a president over a quorum of high priests;
           •  •  •
       137 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you John A. Hicks, Samuel Williams, and Jesse Baker, which priesthood is to preside over the quorum of ^aelders, which quorum is instituted for standing ministers; nevertheless they may travel, yet they are ordained to be standing ministers to my church, saith the Lord.
       138 And again, I give unto you Joseph Young, Josiah Butterfield, Daniel Miles, Henry Herriman, Zera Pulsipher, Levi Hancock, James Foster, to preside over the quorum of ^aseventies;
           •  •  •
       141 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you Vinson Knight, Samuel H. Smith, and Shadrach Roundy, if he will receive it, to preside over the ^abishopric; a knowledge of said bishopric is given unto you in the book of Doctrine and Covenants.
       142 And again, I say unto you, Samuel Rolfe and his counselors for ^apriests, and the president of the teachers and his counselors, and also the president of the deacons and his counselors, and also the president of the stake and his counselors.
       143 The above ^aoffices I have given unto you, and the keys thereof, for helps and for governments, for the work of the ministry and the ^bperfecting of my saints.
       144 And a commandment I give unto you, that you should fill all these offices and ^aapprove of those names which I have mentioned, or else disapprove of them at my general conference;
349. D&C 125: 2
       2 Verily, thus saith the Lord, I say unto you, if those who ^acall themselves by my name and are essaying to be my saints, if they will do my will and keep my commandments concerning them, let them gather themselves together unto the places which I shall appoint unto them by my servant Joseph, and build up cities unto my name, that they may be prepared for that which is in store for a time to come.
350. D&C 126: 1
       1 Dear and well-beloved brother, ^aBrigham Young, verily thus saith the Lord unto you: My servant Brigham, it is ^bno more required at your hand to leave your family as in times past, for your offering is acceptable to me.
351. D&C 127: 4-6
       4 And again, verily thus saith the Lord: Let the work of my ^atemple, and all the works which I have appointed unto you, be continued on and not cease; and let your ^bdiligence, and your perseverance, and patience, and your works be redoubled, and you shall in nowise lose your reward, saith the Lord of Hosts. And if they ^cpersecute you, so persecuted they the prophets and righteous men that were before you. For all this there is a reward in heaven.
       5 And again, I give unto you a word in relation to the ^abaptism for your dead.
       6 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning your dead: When any of you are ^abaptized for your dead, let there be a ^brecorder, and let him be eye-witness of your baptisms; let him hear with his ears, that he may testify of a truth, saith the Lord;
352. D&C 132: 1, 3-4, 7, 11-12, 18-19, 21, 26, 35, 40-41, 44-46, 48, 51, 64, 66
       1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many ^awives and ^bconcubines—
           •  •  •
       3 Therefore, ^aprepare thy heart to receive and ^bobey the instructions which I am about to give unto you; for all those who have this law revealed unto them must obey the same.
       4 For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting ^acovenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye ^bdamned; for no one can ^creject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory.
           •  •  •
       7 And verily I say unto you, that the ^aconditions of this law are these: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, ^boaths, ^cvows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and ^dsealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, of him who is ^eanointed, both as well for time and for all eternity, and that too most holy, by ^frevelation and commandment through the medium of mine anointed, whom I have appointed on the earth to hold this ^gpower (and I have appointed unto my servant Joseph to hold this ^hpower in the last days, and there is never but one on the earth at a time on whom this power and the ⁱkeys of this priesthood are conferred), are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead; for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead.
           •  •  •
       11 And will I appoint unto you, saith the Lord, except it be by law, even as I and my Father ^aordained unto you, before the world was?
       12 I am the Lord thy God; and I give unto you this commandment—that no man shall ^acome unto the Father but by me or by my word, which is my law, saith the Lord.
           •  •  •
       18 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that ^acovenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.
       19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man ^amarry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and ^beverlasting covenant, and it is ^csealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of ^dpromise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the ^ekeys 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 ^fthrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s ^gBook of Life, that he shall commit no ^hmurder whereby to shed innocent ⁱblood, 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 ^jexaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the ^kseeds forever and ever.
           •  •  •
       21 Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my ^alaw ye cannot attain to this glory.
           •  •  •
       26 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man marry a wife according to my word, and they are sealed by the ^aHoly Spirit of promise, according to mine appointment, and he or she shall commit any sin or transgression of the new and everlasting covenant whatever, and all manner of blasphemies, and if they ^bcommit no murder wherein they shed innocent blood, yet they shall come forth in the first resurrection, and enter into their exaltation; but they shall be destroyed in the flesh, and shall be ^cdelivered unto the buffetings of ^dSatan unto the day of ^eredemption, saith the Lord God.
           •  •  •
       35 Was Abraham, therefore, under condemnation? Verily I say unto you, Nay; for I, the Lord, ^acommanded it.
           •  •  •
       40 I am the Lord thy God, and I gave unto thee, my servant Joseph, an ^aappointment, and restore all things. Ask what ye will, and it shall be given unto you according to my word.
       41 And as ye have asked concerning adultery, verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man ^areceiveth a wife in the new and everlasting covenant, and if she be with another man, and I have not appointed unto her by the holy ^banointing, she hath committed ^cadultery and shall be destroyed.
           •  •  •
       44 And if she hath not committed adultery, but is innocent and hath not broken her vow, and she knoweth it, and I reveal it unto you, my servant Joseph, then shall you have power, by the power of my Holy Priesthood, to take her and ^agive her unto him that hath not committed ^badultery but hath been ^cfaithful; for he shall be made ruler over many.
       45 For I have conferred upon you the ^akeys and power of the priesthood, wherein I ^brestore all things, and make known unto you all things in due time.
       46 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that whatsoever you ^aseal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever you ^bbind on earth, in my name and by my word, saith the Lord, it shall be eternally bound in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you ^cremit on earth shall be remitted eternally in the heavens; and whosesoever sins you retain on earth shall be retained in heaven.
           •  •  •
       48 And again, verily I say unto you, my servant Joseph, that whatsoever you give on earth, and to whomsoever you ^agive any one on earth, by my word and according to my law, it shall be visited with blessings and not cursings, and with my power, saith the Lord, and shall be without condemnation on earth and in heaven.
           •  •  •
       51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
           •  •  •
       64 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.
           •  •  •
       66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.
353. D&C 133: 7, 71
       7 Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon; ^agather ye out from among the nations, from the ^bfour winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
           •  •  •
       71 Behold, and lo, there are none to deliver you; for ye ^aobeyed not my voice when I called to you out of the heavens; ye ^bbelieved not my servants, and when they were ^csent unto you ye received them not.
354. Moses 1: 35, 42
       35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I ^aknow them.
           •  •  •
       42 (These words were ^aspoken unto Moses in the mount, the name of which shall not be known among the children of men. And now they are spoken unto you. Show them not unto any except them that believe. Even so. Amen.)
355. Moses 2: 1
       1 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I ^areveal unto you concerning this ^bheaven, and this ^cearth; ^dwrite the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the ^eAlmighty God; by mine ^fOnly Begotten I ^gcreated these things; yea, in the beginning I ^hcreated the ⁱheaven, and the earth upon which thou standest.
356. Moses 3: 4
       4 And now, behold, I say unto you, that these are the generations of the heaven and of the earth, when they were ^acreated, in the day that I, the Lord God, made the ^bheaven and the earth,
357. Moses 4: 32
       32 (And these are the words which I spake unto my servant Moses, and they are true even as I will; and I have spoken them unto you. See thou show them unto no man, until I command you, except to them that believe. Amen.)
358. Moses 6: 56-58, 62
       56 And it is given unto them to know good from evil; wherefore they are ^aagents unto themselves, and I have given unto you another law and commandment.
       57 Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must ^arepent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no ^bunclean thing can dwell there, or ^cdwell in his ^dpresence; for, in the language of Adam, ^eMan of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the ^fSon of Man, even ^gJesus Christ, a righteous ^hJudge, who shall come in the meridian of time.
       58 Therefore I give unto you a ^acommandment, to ^bteach these things freely unto your ^cchildren, saying:

       62 And now, behold, I say unto you: This is the ^aplan of salvation unto all men, through the ^bblood of mine ^cOnly Begotten, who shall come in the meridian of time.

       1 ^aFor I say unto you, that ye shall not see me henceforth and know that I am he of whom it is written by the prophets, until ye shall say: Blessed is he who ^bcometh in the name of the Lord, in the clouds of heaven, and all the holy angels with him. Then understood his disciples that he should come again on the earth, after that he was glorified and ^ccrowned on the right hand of God.
       2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple; and his disciples came to him, for to ^ahear him, saying: Master, show us concerning the buildings of the temple, as thou hast said—They shall be thrown down, and left unto you desolate.
       3 And Jesus said unto them: See ye not all these things, and do ye not understand them? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here, upon this temple, one ^astone upon another that shall not be thrown down.

       21 Behold, these things I have spoken unto you concerning the Jews; and again, after the tribulation of those days which shall come upon Jerusalem, if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe him not;
           •  •  •
       23 Behold, I speak these things unto you for the ^aelect’s sake; and you also shall hear of ^bwars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled, for all I have told you must come to pass; but the end is not yet.

       27 And now I show unto you a parable. Behold, wheresoever the ^acarcass is, there will the eagles be ^bgathered together; so likewise shall mine elect be gathered from the four quarters of the earth.
           •  •  •
       34 Verily, I say unto you, this ^ageneration, in which these things shall be shown forth, shall not pass away until all I have told you shall be fulfilled.
