18  And all this for the benefit of the church of the living God, that every man may improve upon his talent, that every man may gain other talents, yea, even an hundred fold, to be cast into the Lord's storehouse, to become the common property of the whole church—

  1  Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require all their ^asurplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church in Zion,

  34  Therefore, the residue shall be kept in my ^astorehouse, to administer to the poor and the needy, as shall be appointed by the high council of the church, and the bishop and his council;

  13  And again, let the bishop appoint a ^astorehouse unto this church; and let all things both in money and in meat, which are more than is needful for the wants of this people, be kept in the hands of the bishop.

  33  And again, if there shall be properties in the hands of the church, or any individuals of it, more than is necessary for their support after this first consecration, which is a ^aresidue to be consecrated unto the bishop, it shall be kept to administer to those who have not, from time to time, that every man who has need may be amply supplied and receive according to his wants.

  7  Nevertheless, inasmuch as they ^areceive more than is needful for their necessities and their wants, it shall be given into my storehouse;
