D&C 17
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
a
view
of
the
b
plates,
and
also
of
the
c
breastplate,
the
d
sword
of
Laban,
the
e
Urim
and
Thummim,
which
were
given
to
the
f
brother
of
Jared
upon
the
mount,
when
he
talked
with
the
Lord
g
face
to
face,
and
the
h
miraculous
directors
which
were
given
to
Lehi
while
in
the
wilderness,
on
the
borders
of
the
i
Red
Sea.
2 And
it
is
by
your
faith
that
you
shall
obtain
a
view
of
them,
even
by
that
faith
which
was
had
by
the
prophets
of
old.
3 And
after
that
you
have
obtained
faith,
and
have
seen
them
with
your
eyes,
you
shall
a
testify
of
them,
by
the
power
of
God;
4 And
this
you
shall
do
that
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
may
not
be
destroyed,
that
I
may
bring
about
my
righteous
purposes
unto
the
children
of
men
in
this
work.
5 And
ye
shall
testify
that
you
have
seen
them,
even
as
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
has
seen
them;
for
it
is
by
my
power
that
he
has
seen
them,
and
it
is
because
he
had
faith.
6 And
he
has
translated
the
a
book,
even
that
b
part
which
I
have
commanded
him,
and
as
your
Lord
and
your
God
liveth
it
is
true.
7 Wherefore,
you
have
received
the
same
power,
and
the
same
faith,
and
the
same
gift
like
unto
him;
8 And
if
you
do
these
last
a
commandments
of
mine,
which
I
have
given
you,
the
b
gates
of
hell
shall
not
prevail
against
you;
for
my
c
grace
is
sufficient
for
you,
and
you
shall
be
d
lifted
up
at
the
last
day.
9 And
I,
Jesus
Christ,
your
a
Lord
and
your
God,
have
spoken
it
unto
you,
that
I
might
bring
about
my
righteous
purposes
unto
the
children
of
men.
Amen.
