D&C 50
Hearken,
O
ye
elders
of
my
church,
and
give
ear
to
the
a
voice
of
the
living
God;
and
attend
to
the
words
of
wisdom
which
shall
be
given
unto
you,
according
as
ye
have
asked
and
are
agreed
as
touching
the
church,
and
the
b
spirits
which
have
gone
abroad
in
the
earth.
2 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
there
are
many
spirits
which
are
false
a
spirits,
which
have
gone
forth
in
the
earth,
deceiving
the
world.
3 And
also
a
Satan
hath
sought
to
deceive
you,
that
he
might
overthrow
you.
4 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
have
looked
upon
you,
and
have
seen
a
abominations
in
the
church
that
b
profess
my
name.
5 But
blessed
are
they
who
are
faithful
and
a
endure,
whether
in
life
or
in
death,
for
they
shall
inherit
eternal
life.
6 But
wo
unto
them
that
are
a
deceivers
and
hypocrites,
for,
thus
saith
the
Lord,
I
will
bring
them
to
judgment.
7 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
there
are
a
hypocrites
among
you,
who
have
deceived
some,
which
has
given
the
b
adversary
c
power;
but
behold
d
such
shall
be
reclaimed;
8 But
the
a
hypocrites
shall
be
detected
and
shall
be
b
cut
off,
either
in
life
or
in
death,
even
as
I
will;
and
wo
unto
them
who
are
cut
off
from
my
church,
for
the
same
are
overcome
of
the
world.
9 Wherefore,
let
every
man
beware
lest
he
do
that
which
is
not
in
truth
and
righteousness
before
me.
10 And
now
come,
saith
the
Lord,
by
the
Spirit,
unto
the
elders
of
his
church,
and
let
us
a
reason
together,
that
ye
may
understand;
11 Let
us
reason
even
as
a
man
reasoneth
one
with
another
face
to
face.
12 Now,
when
a
man
reasoneth
he
is
understood
of
man,
because
he
reasoneth
as
a
man;
even
so
will
I,
the
Lord,
reason
with
you
that
you
may
a
understand.
13 Wherefore,
I
the
Lord
ask
you
this
question—unto
what
were
ye
a
ordained?
14 To
preach
my
gospel
by
the
a
Spirit,
even
the
b
Comforter
which
was
sent
forth
to
teach
the
truth.
15 And
then
received
ye
a
spirits
which
ye
could
not
understand,
and
received
them
to
be
of
God;
and
in
this
are
ye
justified?
16 Behold
ye
shall
answer
this
question
yourselves;
nevertheless,
I
will
be
a
merciful
unto
you;
he
that
is
weak
among
you
hereafter
shall
be
made
b
strong.
17 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
he
that
is
ordained
of
me
and
sent
forth
to
a
preach
the
word
of
truth
by
the
Comforter,
in
the
Spirit
of
truth,
doth
he
b
preach
it
by
the
Spirit
of
truth
or
some
other
way?
18 And
if
it
be
by
some
other
way
it
is
not
of
God.
19 And
again,
he
that
receiveth
the
word
of
truth,
doth
he
receive
it
by
the
Spirit
of
truth
or
some
other
way?
20 If
it
be
some
other
way
it
is
not
of
God.
21 Therefore,
why
is
it
that
ye
cannot
understand
and
know,
that
he
that
receiveth
the
word
by
the
a
Spirit
of
truth
receiveth
it
as
it
is
preached
by
the
Spirit
of
truth?
22 Wherefore,
he
that
preacheth
and
he
that
receiveth,
understand
one
another,
and
both
are
a
edified
and
b
rejoice
together.
23 And
that
which
doth
not
a
edify
is
not
of
God,
and
is
b
darkness.
24 That
which
is
of
God
is
a
light;
and
he
that
b
receiveth
c
light,
and
d
continueth
in
God,
receiveth
more
e
light;
and
that
light
groweth
brighter
and
brighter
until
the
perfect
day.
25 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
and
I
say
it
that
you
may
know
the
a
truth,
that
you
may
chase
darkness
from
among
you;
26 He
that
is
a
ordained
of
God
and
sent
forth,
the
same
is
appointed
to
be
the
b
greatest,
notwithstanding
he
is
the
c
least
and
the
d
servant
of
all.
27 Wherefore,
he
is
possessor
of
all
things;
for
all
things
are
a
subject
unto
him,
both
in
heaven
and
on
the
earth,
the
life
and
the
light,
the
Spirit
and
the
b
power,
sent
forth
by
the
will
of
the
Father
through
Jesus
Christ,
his
Son.
28 But
no
man
is
possessor
of
a
all
things
except
he
be
b
purified
and
c
cleansed
from
all
sin.
29 And
if
ye
are
a
purified
and
cleansed
from
all
b
sin,
ye
shall
c
ask
whatsoever
you
will
in
the
name
of
Jesus
and
it
shall
be
done.
30 But
know
this,
it
shall
be
given
you
what
you
shall
a
ask;
and
as
ye
are
appointed
to
the
b
head,
the
spirits
shall
be
subject
unto
you.
31 Wherefore,
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
if
you
behold
a
a
spirit
manifested
that
you
cannot
understand,
and
you
receive
not
that
spirit,
ye
shall
ask
of
the
Father
in
the
name
of
Jesus;
and
if
he
give
not
unto
you
that
spirit,
then
you
may
know
that
it
is
not
of
God.
32 And
it
shall
be
given
unto
you,
a
power
over
that
spirit;
and
you
shall
proclaim
against
that
spirit
with
a
loud
voice
that
it
is
b
not
of
God—
33 Not
with
a
railing
accusation,
that
ye
be
not
overcome,
neither
with
b
boasting
nor
rejoicing,
lest
you
be
seized
therewith.
34 He
that
receiveth
of
God,
let
him
a
account
it
of
God;
and
let
him
rejoice
that
he
is
accounted
of
God
worthy
to
receive.
35 And
by
giving
heed
and
doing
these
things
which
ye
have
received,
and
which
ye
shall
hereafter
receive—and
the
a
kingdom
is
given
b
you
of
the
Father,
and
c
power
to
d
overcome
all
things
which
are
not
ordained
of
him—
36 And
behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
blessed
are
you
who
are
now
hearing
these
words
of
mine
from
the
mouth
of
my
servant,
for
your
sins
are
a
forgiven
you.
37 Let
my
servant
Joseph
Wakefield,
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased,
and
my
servant
a
Parley
P.
Pratt
go
forth
among
the
churches
and
strengthen
them
by
the
word
of
b
exhortation;
38 And
also
my
servant
John
Corrill,
or
as
many
of
my
servants
as
are
ordained
unto
this
office,
and
let
them
labor
in
the
a
vineyard;
and
let
no
man
hinder
them
doing
that
which
I
have
appointed
unto
them—
39 Wherefore,
in
this
thing
my
servant
a
Edward
Partridge
is
not
justified;
nevertheless
let
him
repent
and
he
shall
be
forgiven.
40 Behold,
ye
are
little
children
and
ye
cannot
a
bear
all
things
now;
ye
must
b
grow
in
c
grace
and
in
the
knowledge
of
the
truth.
41
a
Fear
not,
little
b
children,
for
you
are
mine,
and
I
have
c
overcome
the
world,
and
you
are
of
them
that
my
Father
hath
d
given
me;
42 And
none
of
them
that
my
Father
hath
given
me
shall
be
a
lost.
43 And
the
Father
and
I
are
a
one.
I
am
b
in
the
Father
and
the
Father
in
me;
and
inasmuch
as
ye
have
received
me,
ye
are
in
me
and
I
in
you.
44 Wherefore,
I
am
in
your
midst,
and
I
am
the
a
good
b
shepherd,
and
the
c
stone
of
Israel.
He
that
buildeth
upon
this
d
rock
shall
never
e
fall.
45 And
the
a
day
cometh
that
you
shall
hear
my
voice
and
b
see
me,
and
c
know
that
I
am.
46
a
Watch,
therefore,
that
ye
may
be
b
ready.
Even
so.
Amen.
