D&C 24
Behold,
thou
wast
called
and
chosen
to
a
write
the
Book
of
Mormon,
and
to
my
ministry;
and
I
have
b
lifted
thee
up
out
of
thine
afflictions,
and
have
counseled
thee,
that
thou
hast
been
delivered
from
all
thine
enemies,
and
thou
hast
been
c
delivered
from
the
powers
of
Satan
and
from
d
darkness!
2 Nevertheless,
thou
art
not
excusable
in
thy
a
transgressions;
nevertheless,
go
thy
way
and
sin
no
more.
3
a
Magnify
thine
office;
and
after
thou
hast
b
sowed
thy
fields
and
secured
them,
go
speedily
unto
the
church
which
is
in
c
Colesville,
Fayette,
and
Manchester,
and
they
shall
d
support
thee;
and
I
will
bless
them
both
spiritually
and
e
temporally;
4 But
if
they
receive
thee
not,
I
will
send
upon
them
a
a
cursing
instead
of
a
blessing.
5 And
thou
shalt
continue
in
calling
upon
God
in
my
name,
and
writing
the
things
which
shall
be
given
thee
by
the
a
Comforter,
and
expounding
all
scriptures
unto
the
church.
6 And
it
shall
be
given
thee
in
the
very
moment
what
thou
shalt
a
speak
and
b
write,
and
they
shall
hear
it,
or
I
will
send
unto
them
a
cursing
instead
of
a
blessing.
7 For
thou
shalt
devote
all
thy
a
service
in
Zion;
and
in
this
thou
shalt
have
strength.
8 Be
a
patient
in
b
afflictions,
for
thou
shalt
have
many;
but
c
endure
them,
for,
lo,
I
am
with
thee,
even
unto
the
d
end
of
thy
days.
9 And
in
temporal
labors
thou
shalt
not
have
strength,
for
this
is
not
thy
calling.
Attend
to
thy
a
calling
and
thou
shalt
have
wherewith
to
magnify
thine
office,
and
to
expound
all
scriptures,
and
continue
in
laying
on
of
the
hands
and
b
confirming
the
churches.
10 And
thy
brother
Oliver
shall
continue
in
bearing
my
name
before
the
a
world,
and
also
to
the
church.
And
he
shall
not
suppose
that
he
can
say
enough
in
my
cause;
and
lo,
I
am
with
him
to
the
end.
11 In
me
he
shall
have
glory,
and
not
of
himself,
whether
in
weakness
or
in
strength,
whether
in
a
bonds
or
free;
12 And
at
all
times,
and
in
all
places,
he
shall
open
his
mouth
and
a
declare
my
gospel
as
with
the
voice
of
a
b
trump,
both
day
and
night.
And
I
will
give
unto
him
strength
such
as
is
not
known
among
men.
13 Require
not
a
miracles,
except
I
shall
b
command
you,
except
c
casting
out
d
devils,
e
healing
the
sick,
and
against
f
poisonous
serpents,
and
against
deadly
poisons;
14 And
these
things
ye
shall
not
do,
except
it
be
required
of
you
by
them
who
a
desire
it,
that
the
scriptures
might
be
b
fulfilled;
for
ye
shall
do
according
to
that
which
is
written.
15 And
in
whatsoever
place
ye
shall
a
enter,
and
they
receive
you
not
in
my
name,
ye
shall
leave
a
cursing
instead
of
a
blessing,
by
casting
off
the
b
dust
of
your
feet
against
them
as
a
testimony,
and
cleansing
your
feet
by
the
wayside.
16 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
whosoever
shall
lay
their
hands
upon
you
by
violence,
ye
shall
command
to
be
smitten
in
my
name;
and,
behold,
I
will
a
smite
them
according
to
your
words,
in
mine
own
due
time.
17 And
whosoever
shall
go
to
law
with
thee
shall
be
cursed
by
the
law.
18 And
thou
shalt
take
no
a
purse
nor
scrip,
neither
staves,
neither
two
coats,
for
the
church
shall
give
unto
thee
in
the
very
hour
what
thou
needest
for
food
and
for
raiment,
and
for
shoes
and
for
money,
and
for
scrip.
19 For
thou
art
called
to
a
prune
my
vineyard
with
a
mighty
pruning,
yea,
even
for
the
last
time;
yea,
and
also
all
those
whom
thou
hast
b
ordained,
and
they
shall
do
even
according
to
this
pattern.
Amen.
