D&C 132
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
a
wives
and
b
concubines—
2 Behold,
and
lo,
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
will
answer
thee
as
touching
this
matter.
3 Therefore,
a
prepare
thy
heart
to
receive
and
b
obey
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
a
covenant;
and
if
ye
abide
not
that
covenant,
then
are
ye
b
damned;
for
no
one
can
c
reject
this
covenant
and
be
permitted
to
enter
into
my
glory.
5 For
all
who
will
have
a
a
blessing
at
my
hands
shall
abide
the
b
law
which
was
appointed
for
that
blessing,
and
the
conditions
thereof,
as
were
instituted
from
before
the
foundation
of
the
world.
6 And
as
pertaining
to
the
a
new
and
a
everlasting
covenant,
it
was
instituted
for
the
fulness
of
my
b
glory;
and
he
that
receiveth
a
fulness
thereof
must
and
shall
abide
the
law,
or
he
shall
be
damned,
saith
the
Lord
God.
7 And
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
the
a
conditions
of
this
law
are
these:
All
covenants,
contracts,
bonds,
obligations,
b
oaths,
c
vows,
performances,
connections,
associations,
or
expectations,
that
are
not
made
and
entered
into
and
d
sealed
by
the
Holy
Spirit
of
promise,
of
him
who
is
e
anointed,
both
as
well
for
time
and
for
all
eternity,
and
that
too
most
holy,
by
f
revelation
and
commandment
through
the
medium
of
mine
anointed,
whom
I
have
appointed
on
the
earth
to
hold
this
g
power
(and
I
have
appointed
unto
my
servant
Joseph
to
hold
this
h
power
in
the
last
days,
and
there
is
never
but
one
on
the
earth
at
a
time
on
whom
this
power
and
the
i
keys
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.
8 Behold,
mine
house
is
a
house
of
a
order,
saith
the
Lord
God,
and
not
a
house
of
confusion.
9 Will
I
a
accept
of
an
offering,
saith
the
Lord,
that
is
not
made
in
my
name?
10 Or
will
I
receive
at
your
hands
that
which
I
have
not
a
appointed?
11 And
will
I
appoint
unto
you,
saith
the
Lord,
except
it
be
by
law,
even
as
I
and
my
Father
a
ordained
unto
you,
before
the
world
was?
12 I
am
the
Lord
thy
God;
and
I
give
unto
you
this
commandment—that
no
man
shall
a
come
unto
the
Father
but
by
me
or
by
my
word,
which
is
my
law,
saith
the
Lord.
13 And
everything
that
is
in
the
world,
whether
it
be
ordained
of
men,
by
a
thrones,
or
principalities,
or
powers,
or
things
of
name,
whatsoever
they
may
be,
that
are
not
by
me
or
by
my
word,
saith
the
Lord,
shall
be
thrown
down,
and
shall
b
not
remain
after
men
are
dead,
neither
in
nor
after
the
resurrection,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
14 For
whatsoever
things
remain
are
by
me;
and
whatsoever
things
are
not
by
me
shall
be
shaken
and
destroyed.
15 Therefore,
if
a
a
man
marry
him
a
wife
in
the
world,
and
he
marry
her
not
by
me
nor
by
my
word,
and
he
covenant
with
her
so
long
as
he
is
in
the
world
and
she
with
him,
their
covenant
and
marriage
are
not
of
force
when
they
are
dead,
and
when
they
are
out
of
the
world;
therefore,
they
are
not
bound
by
any
law
when
they
are
out
of
the
world.
16 Therefore,
when
they
are
out
of
the
world
they
neither
marry
nor
are
given
in
a
marriage;
but
are
appointed
angels
in
b
heaven,
which
angels
are
ministering
c
servants,
to
minister
for
those
who
are
worthy
of
a
far
more,
and
an
exceeding,
and
an
eternal
weight
of
glory.
17 For
these
angels
did
not
abide
my
law;
therefore,
they
cannot
be
enlarged,
but
remain
separately
and
singly,
without
exaltation,
in
their
saved
condition,
to
all
eternity;
and
from
henceforth
are
not
gods,
but
are
a
angels
of
God
forever
and
ever.
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
a
covenant
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
a
marry
a
wife
by
my
word,
which
is
my
law,
and
by
the
b
new
and
b
everlasting
covenant,
and
it
is
c
sealed
unto
them
by
the
Holy
Spirit
of
d
promise,
by
him
who
is
anointed,
unto
whom
I
have
appointed
this
power
and
the
e
keys
of
this
priesthood;
and
it
shall
be
said
unto
them—Ye
shall
come
forth
in
the
first
resurrection;
and
if
it
be
after
the
first
resurrection,
in
the
next
resurrection;
and
shall
inherit
f
thrones,
kingdoms,
principalities,
and
powers,
dominions,
all
heights
and
depths—then
shall
it
be
written
in
the
Lamb's
g
Book
of
Life,
that
he
shall
commit
no
h
murder
whereby
to
shed
innocent
i
blood,
and
if
ye
abide
in
my
covenant,
and
commit
no
murder
whereby
to
shed
innocent
blood,
it
shall
be
done
unto
them
in
all
things
whatsoever
my
servant
hath
put
upon
them,
in
time,
and
through
all
eternity;
and
shall
be
of
full
force
when
they
are
out
of
the
world;
and
they
shall
pass
by
the
angels,
and
the
gods,
which
are
set
there,
to
their
j
exaltation
and
glory
in
all
things,
as
hath
been
sealed
upon
their
heads,
which
glory
shall
be
a
fulness
and
a
continuation
of
the
k
seeds
forever
and
ever.
20 Then
shall
they
be
gods,
because
they
have
no
end;
therefore
shall
they
be
from
a
everlasting
to
everlasting,
because
they
continue;
then
shall
they
be
above
all,
because
all
things
are
subject
unto
them.
Then
shall
they
be
b
gods,
because
they
have
c
all
power,
and
the
angels
are
subject
unto
them.
21 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
except
ye
abide
my
a
law
ye
cannot
attain
to
this
glory.
22 For
a
strait
is
the
gate,
and
narrow
the
b
way
that
leadeth
unto
the
exaltation
and
continuation
of
the
c
lives,
and
few
there
be
that
find
it,
because
ye
receive
me
not
in
the
world
neither
do
ye
know
me.
23 But
if
ye
receive
me
in
the
world,
then
shall
ye
know
me,
and
shall
receive
your
exaltation;
that
a
where
I
am
ye
shall
be
also.
24 This
is
a
eternal
lives—to
b
know
the
only
wise
and
true
God,
and
Jesus
Christ,
whom
he
hath
c
sent.
I
am
he.
Receive
ye,
therefore,
my
law.
25
a
Broad
is
the
gate,
and
wide
the
way
that
leadeth
to
the
b
deaths;
and
many
there
are
that
go
in
thereat,
because
they
c
receive
me
not,
neither
do
they
abide
in
my
law.
26 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
if
a
man
marry
a
wife
according
to
my
word,
and
they
are
sealed
by
the
a
Holy
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
b
commit
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
c
delivered
unto
the
buffetings
of
d
Satan
unto
the
day
of
e
redemption,
saith
the
Lord
God.
27 The
a
blasphemy
against
the
Holy
Ghost,
which
shall
b
not
be
c
forgiven
in
the
world
nor
out
of
the
world,
is
in
that
ye
commit
d
murder
wherein
ye
shed
innocent
blood,
and
assent
unto
my
death,
after
ye
have
received
my
new
and
everlasting
covenant,
saith
the
Lord
God;
and
he
that
abideth
not
this
law
can
in
nowise
enter
into
my
glory,
but
shall
be
e
damned,
saith
the
Lord.
28 I
am
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
will
give
unto
thee
the
a
law
of
my
Holy
Priesthood,
as
was
ordained
by
me
and
my
Father
before
the
world
was.
29
a
Abraham
received
all
things,
whatsoever
he
received,
by
revelation
and
commandment,
by
my
word,
saith
the
Lord,
and
hath
entered
into
his
exaltation
and
sitteth
upon
his
throne.
30
a
Abraham
received
promises
concerning
his
seed,
and
of
the
fruit
of
his
loins—from
whose
b
loins
ye
are,
namely,
my
servant
Joseph—which
were
to
continue
so
long
as
they
were
in
the
world;
and
as
touching
Abraham
and
his
seed,
out
of
the
world
they
should
continue;
both
in
the
world
and
out
of
the
world
should
they
continue
as
innumerable
as
the
c
stars;
or,
if
ye
were
to
count
the
sand
upon
the
seashore
ye
could
not
number
them.
31 This
promise
is
yours
also,
because
ye
are
of
a
Abraham,
and
the
promise
was
made
unto
Abraham;
and
by
this
law
is
the
continuation
of
the
works
of
my
Father,
wherein
he
glorifieth
himself.
