D&C 63
Hearken,
O
ye
people,
and
open
your
hearts
and
give
ear
from
afar;
and
listen,
you
that
call
yourselves
the
a
people
of
the
Lord,
and
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord
and
his
will
concerning
you.
2 Yea,
verily,
I
say,
hear
the
word
of
him
whose
anger
is
a
kindled
against
the
wicked
and
b
rebellious;
3 Who
willeth
to
take
even
them
whom
he
will
a
take,
and
b
preserveth
in
life
them
whom
he
will
preserve;
4 Who
buildeth
up
at
his
own
will
and
a
pleasure;
and
destroyeth
when
he
pleases,
and
is
able
to
b
cast
the
soul
down
to
hell.
5 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
utter
my
voice,
and
it
shall
be
a
obeyed.
6 Wherefore,
verily
I
say,
let
the
wicked
take
heed,
and
let
the
a
rebellious
b
fear
and
tremble;
and
let
the
unbelieving
hold
their
lips,
for
the
c
day
of
wrath
shall
come
upon
them
as
a
d
whirlwind,
and
all
flesh
shall
e
know
that
I
am
God.
7 And
he
that
seeketh
a
signs
shall
see
b
signs,
but
not
unto
salvation.
8 Verily,
I
say
unto
you,
there
are
those
among
you
who
seek
signs,
and
there
have
been
such
even
from
the
beginning;
9 But,
behold,
faith
cometh
not
by
signs,
but
a
signs
follow
those
that
believe.
10 Yea,
a
signs
come
by
b
faith,
not
by
the
will
of
men,
nor
as
they
please,
but
by
the
will
of
God.
11 Yea,
signs
come
by
faith,
unto
mighty
works,
for
without
a
faith
no
man
pleaseth
God;
and
with
whom
God
is
b
angry
he
is
not
well
pleased;
wherefore,
unto
such
he
showeth
no
signs,
only
in
c
wrath
unto
their
d
condemnation.
12 Wherefore,
I,
the
Lord,
am
not
pleased
with
those
among
you
who
have
sought
after
signs
and
wonders
for
faith,
and
not
for
the
good
of
men
unto
my
glory.
13 Nevertheless,
I
give
commandments,
and
many
have
turned
away
from
my
commandments
and
have
a
not
kept
them.
14 There
were
among
you
a
adulterers
and
adulteresses;
some
of
whom
have
turned
away
from
you,
and
others
remain
with
you
that
hereafter
shall
be
revealed.
15 Let
such
beware
and
repent
speedily,
lest
judgment
shall
come
upon
them
as
a
a
snare,
and
their
b
folly
shall
be
made
manifest,
and
their
works
shall
follow
them
in
the
eyes
of
the
people.
16 And
verily
I
say
unto
you,
as
I
have
said
before,
he
that
a
looketh
on
a
woman
to
b
lust
after
her,
or
if
any
shall
commit
c
adultery
in
their
hearts,
they
shall
not
have
the
d
Spirit,
but
shall
deny
the
faith
and
shall
fear.
17 Wherefore,
I,
the
Lord,
have
said
that
the
a
fearful,
and
the
b
unbelieving,
and
all
c
liars,
and
whosoever
loveth
and
maketh
a
lie,
and
the
d
whoremonger,
and
the
e
sorcerer,
shall
have
their
part
in
that
f
lake
which
burneth
with
fire
and
brimstone,
which
is
the
g
second
death.
18 Verily
I
say,
that
they
shall
not
have
part
in
the
a
first
resurrection.
19 And
now
behold,
I,
the
Lord,
say
unto
you
that
ye
are
not
a
justified,
because
these
things
are
among
you.
20 Nevertheless,
he
that
a
endureth
in
faith
and
doeth
my
b
will,
the
same
shall
overcome,
and
shall
receive
an
c
inheritance
upon
the
earth
when
the
day
of
transfiguration
shall
come;
21 When
the
a
earth
shall
be
b
transfigured,
even
according
to
the
pattern
which
was
shown
unto
mine
apostles
upon
the
c
mount;
of
which
account
the
fulness
ye
have
not
yet
received.
22 And
now,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
as
I
said
that
I
would
make
known
my
will
unto
you,
behold
I
will
make
it
known
unto
you,
a
not
by
the
way
of
commandment,
for
there
are
many
who
observe
not
to
keep
my
commandments.
23 But
unto
him
that
keepeth
my
commandments
I
will
give
the
a
mysteries
of
my
kingdom,
and
the
same
shall
be
in
him
a
well
of
living
b
water,
c
springing
up
unto
everlasting
life.
24 And
now,
behold,
this
is
the
will
of
the
Lord
your
God
concerning
his
saints,
that
they
should
a
assemble
themselves
together
unto
the
land
of
Zion,
not
in
haste,
lest
there
should
be
confusion,
which
bringeth
pestilence.
25 Behold,
the
land
of
a
Zion—I,
the
Lord,
hold
it
in
mine
own
hands;
26 Nevertheless,
I,
the
Lord,
render
unto
a
Caesar
the
things
which
are
Caesar's.
27 Wherefore,
I
the
Lord
will
that
you
should
a
purchase
the
lands,
that
you
may
have
advantage
of
the
world,
that
you
may
have
claim
on
the
world,
that
they
may
not
be
b
stirred
up
unto
anger.
28 For
a
Satan
b
putteth
it
into
their
hearts
to
anger
against
you,
and
to
the
shedding
of
blood.
29 Wherefore,
the
land
of
Zion
shall
not
be
obtained
but
by
a
purchase
or
by
blood,
otherwise
there
is
none
inheritance
for
you.
30 And
if
by
purchase,
behold
you
are
blessed;
31 And
if
by
a
blood,
as
you
are
forbidden
to
shed
blood,
lo,
your
enemies
are
upon
you,
and
ye
shall
be
scourged
from
city
to
city,
and
from
synagogue
to
synagogue,
and
but
b
few
shall
stand
to
receive
an
inheritance.
32 I,
the
Lord,
am
a
angry
with
the
b
wicked;
I
am
holding
my
c
Spirit
from
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth.
33 I
have
sworn
in
my
wrath,
and
a
decreed
wars
upon
the
face
of
the
earth,
and
the
wicked
shall
b
slay
the
wicked,
and
fear
shall
come
upon
every
man;
34 And
the
a
saints
also
shall
b
hardly
c
escape;
nevertheless,
I,
the
Lord,
am
with
them,
and
will
d
come
down
in
heaven
from
the
presence
of
my
Father
and
e
consume
the
wicked
with
unquenchable
fire.
35 And
behold,
this
is
not
yet,
but
a
by
and
by.
36 Wherefore,
seeing
that
I,
the
Lord,
have
decreed
all
these
things
upon
the
face
of
the
earth,
I
will
that
my
saints
should
be
assembled
upon
the
land
of
Zion;
37
a
And
that
every
man
should
take
b
righteousness
in
his
hands
and
c
faithfulness
upon
his
loins,
and
lift
a
warning
d
voice
unto
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth;
and
declare
both
by
word
and
by
flight
that
e
desolation
shall
come
upon
the
wicked.
38 Wherefore,
let
my
disciples
in
Kirtland
arrange
their
temporal
concerns,
who
dwell
upon
this
farm.
39 Let
my
servant
Titus
Billings,
who
has
the
care
thereof,
dispose
of
the
land,
that
he
may
be
prepared
in
the
coming
spring
to
take
his
journey
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion,
with
those
that
dwell
upon
the
face
thereof,
excepting
those
whom
I
shall
reserve
unto
myself,
that
shall
a
not
go
until
I
shall
command
them.
40 And
let
all
the
moneys
which
can
be
spared,
it
mattereth
not
unto
me
whether
it
be
little
or
much,
be
sent
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion,
unto
them
whom
I
have
appointed
to
a
receive.
41 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
will
give
unto
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
power
that
he
shall
be
enabled
to
a
discern
by
the
Spirit
those
who
shall
go
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion,
and
those
of
my
disciples
who
shall
tarry.
42 Let
my
servant
a
Newel
K.
Whitney
retain
his
b
store,
or
in
other
words,
the
store,
yet
for
a
little
season.
43 Nevertheless,
let
him
impart
all
the
money
which
he
can
impart,
to
be
sent
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion.
44 Behold,
these
things
are
in
his
own
hands,
let
him
do
a
according
to
wisdom.
45 Verily
I
say,
let
him
be
ordained
as
an
agent
unto
the
disciples
that
shall
tarry,
and
let
him
be
a
ordained
unto
this
power;
46 And
now
speedily
visit
the
churches,
expounding
these
things
unto
them,
with
my
servant
Oliver
Cowdery.
Behold,
this
is
my
will,
obtaining
moneys
even
as
I
have
directed.
47 He
that
is
a
faithful
and
b
endureth
shall
overcome
the
world.
48 He
that
sendeth
up
treasures
unto
the
land
of
Zion
shall
receive
an
a
inheritance
in
this
world,
and
his
works
shall
follow
him,
and
also
a
b
reward
in
the
world
to
come.
49 Yea,
and
blessed
are
the
dead
that
a
die
in
the
Lord,
from
henceforth,
when
the
Lord
shall
come,
and
old
things
shall
b
pass
away,
and
all
things
become
new,
they
shall
c
rise
from
the
dead
and
shall
not
d
die
after,
and
shall
receive
an
inheritance
before
the
Lord,
in
the
e
holy
city.
50 And
he
that
liveth
when
the
Lord
shall
come,
and
hath
kept
the
faith,
a
blessed
is
he;
nevertheless,
it
is
appointed
to
him
to
b
die
at
the
age
of
man.
51 Wherefore,
a
children
shall
b
grow
up
until
they
become
old;
old
men
shall
die;
but
they
shall
not
sleep
in
the
dust,
but
they
shall
be
c
changed
in
the
twinkling
of
an
eye.
52 Wherefore,
for
this
cause
preached
the
apostles
unto
the
world
the
resurrection
of
the
dead.
53 These
things
are
the
things
that
ye
must
look
for;
and,
speaking
after
the
manner
of
the
Lord,
they
are
now
a
nigh
at
hand,
and
in
a
time
to
come,
even
in
the
day
of
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
Man.
54 And
until
that
hour
there
will
be
foolish
a
virgins
among
the
wise;
and
at
that
hour
cometh
an
entire
b
separation
of
the
righteous
and
the
wicked;
and
in
that
day
will
I
send
mine
angels
to
c
pluck
out
the
wicked
and
cast
them
into
unquenchable
fire.
55 And
now
behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I,
the
Lord,
am
not
pleased
with
my
servant
a
Sidney
Rigdon;
he
b
exalted
himself
in
his
heart,
and
received
not
counsel,
but
c
grieved
the
Spirit;
56 Wherefore
his
a
writing
is
not
acceptable
unto
the
Lord,
and
he
shall
make
another;
and
if
the
Lord
receive
it
not,
behold
he
standeth
no
longer
in
the
office
to
which
I
have
appointed
him.
57 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
a
those
who
desire
in
their
hearts,
in
meekness,
to
b
warn
sinners
to
repentance,
let
them
be
ordained
unto
this
power.
58 For
this
is
a
day
of
a
warning,
and
not
a
day
of
many
words.
For
I,
the
Lord,
am
not
to
be
b
mocked
in
the
last
days.
59 Behold,
I
am
from
above,
and
my
power
lieth
beneath.
I
am
over
all,
and
in
all,
and
through
all,
and
a
search
all
things,
and
the
day
cometh
that
all
things
shall
be
b
subject
unto
me.
60 Behold,
I
am
a
Alpha
and
Omega,
even
Jesus
Christ.
61 Wherefore,
let
all
men
a
beware
how
they
take
my
b
name
in
their
lips—
62 For
behold,
verily
I
say,
that
many
there
be
who
are
under
this
condemnation,
who
use
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
use
it
in
vain,
having
not
a
authority.
63 Wherefore,
let
the
church
repent
of
their
sins,
and
I,
the
Lord,
will
a
own
them;
otherwise
they
shall
be
cut
off.
64 Remember
that
that
which
cometh
from
above
is
a
sacred,
and
must
be
b
spoken
with
care,
and
by
constraint
of
the
Spirit;
and
in
this
there
is
no
condemnation,
and
ye
receive
the
Spirit
c
through
prayer;
wherefore,
without
this
there
remaineth
condemnation.
65 Let
my
servants,
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
Sidney
Rigdon,
seek
them
a
home,
as
they
are
a
taught
through
prayer
by
the
Spirit.
66 These
things
remain
to
overcome
through
patience,
that
such
may
receive
a
more
exceeding
and
eternal
a
weight
of
b
glory,
otherwise,
a
greater
condemnation.
Amen.
