D&C 31
a
Thomas,
my
son,
blessed
are
you
because
of
your
faith
in
my
work.
2 Behold,
you
have
had
many
afflictions
because
of
your
family;
nevertheless,
I
will
bless
you
and
your
a
family,
yea,
your
little
ones;
and
the
day
cometh
that
they
will
believe
and
know
the
truth
and
be
one
with
you
in
my
church.
3 Lift
up
your
heart
and
rejoice,
for
the
hour
of
your
mission
is
come;
and
your
tongue
shall
be
loosed,
and
you
shall
declare
a
glad
tidings
of
great
joy
unto
this
generation.
4 You
shall
a
declare
the
things
which
have
been
revealed
to
my
servant,
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.
You
shall
begin
to
preach
from
this
time
forth,
yea,
to
reap
in
the
field
which
is
b
white
already
to
be
burned.
5 Therefore,
a
thrust
in
your
sickle
with
all
your
soul,
and
your
sins
are
b
forgiven
you,
and
you
shall
be
laden
with
c
sheaves
upon
your
back,
for
the
d
laborer
is
worthy
of
his
hire.
Wherefore,
your
family
shall
live.
6 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
go
from
them
only
for
a
little
a
time,
and
declare
my
word,
and
I
will
prepare
a
place
for
them.
7 Yea,
I
will
a
open
the
hearts
of
the
people,
and
they
will
receive
you.
And
I
will
establish
a
church
by
your
hand;
8 And
you
shall
a
strengthen
them
and
prepare
them
against
the
time
when
they
shall
be
gathered.
9 Be
a
patient
in
b
afflictions,
c
revile
not
against
those
that
revile.
Govern
your
d
house
in
meekness,
and
be
e
steadfast.
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.
11 Go
your
way
whithersoever
I
will,
and
it
shall
be
given
you
by
the
a
Comforter
what
you
shall
do
and
whither
you
shall
go.
12
a
Pray
always,
lest
you
enter
into
b
temptation
and
lose
your
c
reward.
13 Be
a
faithful
unto
the
b
end,
and
lo,
I
am
c
with
you.
These
words
are
not
of
man
nor
of
men,
but
of
me,
even
Jesus
Christ,
your
Redeemer,
by
the
d
will
of
the
Father.
Amen.
