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.

• • •
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.
D&C 31: 6
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.
D&C 33: 2, 5, 7, 12, 18
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.
D&C 34: 7, 12
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.
D&C 38: 7, 10, 21, 23
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;

• • •
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;
D&C 39: 5, 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.

• • •
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.
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.
D&C 42: 4, 74
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.

• • •
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;
D&C 43: 2, 4, 7, 27
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
27 Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God.
D&C 45: 7, 19, 57, 62
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
62 For verily I say unto you, that great things await you;
D&C 46: 1, 9-10, 17
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 47: 2
2 Again, verily I say unto you that he can also ^alift up his voice in meetings, whenever it shall be expedient.
D&C 49: 1, 15, 22
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 50: 2, 7, 17, 25, 36
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;

• • •
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;

• • •
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.
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.
D&C 52: 3, 7, 22, 38
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;

• • •
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.

• • •
38 And again, verily I say unto you, let Jared Carter be ^aordained a priest, and also George James be ordained a ^bpriest.

D&C 54: 2
2 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, my servant Newel Knight, you shall stand fast in the office whereunto I have appointed you.
D&C 55: 5
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.
D&C 56: 8
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.
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.
D&C 58: 2, 6, 19, 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.

• • •
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.
D&C 61: 3, 30, 36
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.

• • •
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;
D&C 63: 8, 16, 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.

• • •
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.
D&C 64: 2, 7
2 For verily I say unto you, I will that ye should ^aovercome the world; wherefore I will have ^bcompassion upon you.

• • •
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.
D&C 66: 2-3, 5
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 67: 3, 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.

• • •
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.
D&C 71: 2
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.
D&C 72: 5, 8, 16, 19
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.
D&C 73: 3
3 Now, verily I say unto you my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, saith the Lord, it is ^aexpedient to ^btranslate again;
D&C 75: 1, 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—

• • •
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.
D&C 78: 3, 17
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—

• • •
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;
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.
D&C 81: 1
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.;
D&C 82: 1-2, 7, 11, 14, 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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 84: 59-60, 74, 103, 117
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;

• • •
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 86: 5
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;
D&C 88: 14, 25, 34, 42, 62, 85, 117, 136
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.

• • •
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;

• • •
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—

• • •
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.
D&C 89: 10
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
D&C 90: 1, 3, 12, 19, 28, 30, 32, 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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 91: 3
3 Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be ^atranslated.
D&C 93: 21, 41, 53
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;

• • •
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.
D&C 94: 1, 4, 10
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.
D&C 95: 5, 8, 11
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.

• • •
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;

• • •
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.
D&C 96: 5-6, 8
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.
D&C 97: 1-2, 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.

• • •
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.
D&C 98: 1, 4, 21, 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;

• • •
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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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—
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.
D&C 100: 5
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;
D&C 101: 1, 9, 32, 63, 72
1 Verily I say unto you, concerning your brethren who have been afflicted, and ^apersecuted, and ^bcast out from the land of their inheritance—

• • •
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.

• • •

• • •
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.

• • •

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;

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.

• • •
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.

• • •
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.
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.

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.

• • •

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.

• • •
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.
D&C 133: 7
