D&C 93:23-30 (10 in 8 verses)

 93:23 Ye were also in the beginning with the Father; that which is Spirit, even the Spirit of truth;

 93:24 And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;

 93:25 And whatsoever is more or less than this is the spirit of that wicked one who was a liar from the beginning.

 93:26 The Spirit of truth is of God. I am the Spirit of truth, and John bore record of me, saying: He received a fulness of truth, yea, even of all truth;

 93:27 And no man receiveth a fulness unless he keepeth his commandments.

 93:28 He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things.

 93:29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.

 93:30 All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.





D&C 50:14-21 (8 in 8 verses)

 50:14 To preach my gospel by the Spirit, even the Comforter which was sent forth to teach the truth.

 50:15 And then received ye spirits which ye could not understand, and received them to be of God; and in this are ye justified?

 50:16 Behold ye shall answer this question yourselves; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto you; he that is weak among you hereafter shall be made strong.

 50:17 Verily I say unto you, he that is ordained of me and sent forth to preach the word of truth by the Comforter, in the Spirit of truth, doth he preach it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?

 50:18 And if it be by some other way it is not of God.

 50:19 And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?

 50:20 If it be some other way it is not of God.

 50:21 Therefore, why is it that ye cannot understand and know, that he that receiveth the word by the Spirit of truth receiveth it as it is preached by the Spirit of truth?

 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

2 Ne. 9:40 (3 in 1 verse)

 9:40 O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
