Thus
saith
the
Lord,
verily,
verily
I
say
unto
you
my
son,
thy
sins
are
a
forgiven
thee,
according
to
thy
petition,
for
thy
prayers
and
the
prayers
of
thy
brethren
have
come
up
into
my
ears.
2 Therefore,
thou
art
blessed
from
henceforth
that
bear
the
a
keys
of
the
kingdom
given
unto
you;
which
b
kingdom
is
coming
forth
for
the
last
time.
3 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
the
keys
of
this
a
kingdom
shall
b
never
be
taken
from
you,
while
thou
art
in
the
world,
neither
in
the
world
to
come;
4 Nevertheless,
through
you
shall
the
a
oracles
be
given
to
another,
yea,
even
unto
the
church.
5 And
all
they
who
receive
the
a
oracles
of
God,
let
them
beware
how
they
hold
them
lest
they
are
accounted
as
a
light
thing,
and
are
brought
under
condemnation
thereby,
and
stumble
and
fall
when
the
storms
descend,
and
the
winds
blow,
and
the
b
rains
descend,
and
beat
upon
their
house.
6 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
thy
brethren,
Sidney
Rigdon
and
a
Frederick
G.
Williams,
their
sins
are
forgiven
them
also,
and
they
are
accounted
as
b
equal
with
thee
in
holding
the
keys
of
this
last
kingdom;
7 As
also
through
your
administration
the
keys
of
the
a
school
of
the
prophets,
which
I
have
commanded
to
be
organized;
8 That
thereby
they
may
be
a
perfected
in
their
ministry
for
the
salvation
of
Zion,
and
of
the
nations
of
Israel,
and
of
the
Gentiles,
as
many
as
will
believe;
9 That
through
your
administration
they
may
receive
the
word,
and
through
their
administration
the
word
may
go
forth
unto
the
ends
of
the
earth,
unto
the
a
Gentiles
b
first,
and
then,
behold,
and
lo,
they
shall
turn
unto
the
Jews.
10 And
then
cometh
the
day
when
the
arm
of
the
Lord
shall
be
a
revealed
in
power
in
convincing
the
nations,
the
b
heathen
nations,
the
house
of
c
Joseph,
of
the
gospel
of
their
salvation.
11 For
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
every
man
shall
a
hear
the
fulness
of
the
gospel
in
his
own
tongue,
and
in
his
own
b
language,
through
those
who
are
c
ordained
unto
this
d
power,
by
the
administration
of
the
e
Comforter,
shed
forth
upon
them
for
the
f
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ.
12 And
now,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
give
unto
you
a
commandment
that
you
continue
in
the
a
ministry
and
presidency.
13 And
when
you
have
finished
the
a
translation
of
the
prophets,
you
shall
from
thenceforth
b
preside
over
the
affairs
of
the
church
and
the
school;
14 And
from
time
to
time,
as
shall
be
manifested
by
the
Comforter,
receive
a
revelations
to
unfold
the
b
mysteries
of
the
kingdom;
15 And
set
in
order
the
churches,
and
a
study
and
b
learn,
and
become
acquainted
with
all
good
books,
and
with
c
languages,
tongues,
and
people.
16 And
this
shall
be
your
business
and
mission
in
all
your
lives,
to
preside
in
council,
and
set
in
a
order
all
the
affairs
of
this
church
and
kingdom.
17 Be
not
a
ashamed,
neither
confounded;
but
be
admonished
in
all
your
high-mindedness
and
b
pride,
for
it
bringeth
a
snare
upon
your
souls.
18 Set
in
a
order
your
houses;
keep
b
slothfulness
and
c
uncleanness
far
from
you.
19 Now,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
there
be
a
a
place
provided,
as
soon
as
it
is
possible,
for
the
family
of
thy
counselor
and
scribe,
even
Frederick
G.
Williams.
20 And
let
mine
a
aged
servant,
a
Joseph
Smith,
Sen.,
continue
with
his
family
upon
the
place
where
he
now
lives;
and
let
it
not
be
sold
until
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
shall
name.
21 And
let
my
counselor,
even
a
Sidney
a
Rigdon,
remain
where
he
now
resides
until
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
shall
name.
22 And
let
the
bishop
search
diligently
to
obtain
an
a
agent,
and
let
him
be
a
man
who
has
got
b
riches
in
store—a
man
of
God,
and
of
strong
faith—
23 That
thereby
he
may
be
enabled
to
discharge
every
debt;
that
the
storehouse
of
the
Lord
may
not
be
brought
into
disrepute
before
the
eyes
of
the
people.
24 Search
a
diligently,
b
pray
always,
and
be
believing,
and
c
all
things
shall
work
together
for
your
good,
if
ye
walk
uprightly
and
remember
the
d
covenant
wherewith
ye
have
covenanted
one
with
another.
25 Let
your
families
be
a
small,
especially
mine
aged
servant
Joseph
Smith's,
Sen.,
as
pertaining
to
those
who
do
not
belong
to
your
families;
26 That
those
things
that
are
provided
for
you,
to
bring
to
pass
my
work,
be
not
taken
from
you
and
given
to
those
that
are
not
worthy—
27 And
thereby
you
be
hindered
in
accomplishing
those
things
which
I
have
commanded
you.
28 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
it
is
my
will
that
my
handmaid
Vienna
Jaques
should
receive
a
money
to
bear
her
expenses,
and
go
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion;
29 And
the
residue
of
the
money
may
be
consecrated
unto
me,
and
she
be
rewarded
in
mine
own
due
time.
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
a
inheritance
from
the
hand
of
the
bishop;
31 That
she
may
settle
down
in
peace
inasmuch
as
she
is
faithful,
and
not
be
idle
in
her
days
from
thenceforth.
32 And
behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
ye
shall
a
write
this
commandment,
and
say
unto
your
brethren
in
Zion,
in
love
greeting,
that
I
have
called
you
also
to
b
preside
over
Zion
in
mine
own
due
time.
33 Therefore,
let
them
cease
wearying
me
concerning
this
matter.
34 Behold,
I
say
unto
you
that
your
brethren
in
Zion
begin
to
repent,
and
the
angels
rejoice
over
them.
35 Nevertheless,
I
am
not
well
pleased
with
many
things;
and
I
am
not
well
pleased
with
my
servant
a
William
E.
McLellin,
neither
with
my
servant
Sidney
Gilbert;
and
the
bishop
also,
and
others
have
many
things
to
repent
of.
36 But
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
I,
the
Lord,
will
contend
with
a
Zion,
and
plead
with
her
strong
ones,
and
b
chasten
her
until
she
overcomes
and
is
c
clean
before
me.
37 For
she
shall
not
be
removed
out
of
her
place.
I,
the
Lord,
have
spoken
it.
Amen.
