D&C 64
Behold,
thus
saith
the
Lord
your
God
unto
you,
O
ye
elders
of
my
a
church,
hearken
ye
and
hear,
and
receive
my
will
concerning
you.
2 For
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
will
that
ye
should
a
overcome
the
world;
wherefore
I
will
have
b
compassion
upon
you.
3 There
are
those
among
you
who
have
sinned;
but
verily
I
say,
for
this
once,
for
mine
own
a
glory,
and
for
the
salvation
of
souls,
I
have
b
forgiven
you
your
sins.
4 I
will
be
merciful
unto
you,
for
I
have
given
unto
you
the
a
kingdom.
5 And
the
a
keys
of
the
mysteries
of
the
kingdom
shall
not
be
taken
from
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
through
the
means
I
have
appointed,
while
he
liveth,
inasmuch
as
he
obeyeth
mine
b
ordinances.
6 There
are
those
who
have
sought
occasion
against
him
without
cause;
7 Nevertheless,
he
has
sinned;
but
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I,
the
Lord,
a
forgive
sins
unto
those
who
b
confess
their
sins
before
me
and
ask
forgiveness,
who
have
not
c
sinned
unto
d
death.
8 My
disciples,
in
days
of
old,
sought
a
occasion
against
one
another
and
forgave
not
one
another
in
their
hearts;
and
for
this
b
evil
they
were
c
afflicted
and
sorely
d
chastened.
9 Wherefore,
I
say
unto
you,
that
ye
ought
to
a
forgive
one
another;
for
he
that
b
forgiveth
not
his
brother
his
trespasses
standeth
condemned
before
the
Lord;
for
there
remaineth
in
him
the
greater
sin.
10 I,
the
Lord,
will
a
forgive
whom
I
will
forgive,
but
of
you
it
is
required
to
b
forgive
all
men.
11 And
ye
ought
to
say
in
your
hearts—let
God
a
judge
between
me
and
thee,
and
b
reward
thee
according
to
thy
c
deeds.
12 And
him
that
a
repenteth
not
of
his
sins,
and
b
confesseth
them
not,
ye
shall
bring
before
the
c
church,
and
do
with
him
as
the
d
scripture
saith
unto
you,
either
by
commandment
or
by
revelation.
13 And
this
ye
shall
do
that
God
may
be
glorified—not
because
ye
forgive
not,
having
not
compassion,
but
that
ye
may
be
justified
in
the
eyes
of
the
law,
that
ye
may
not
a
offend
him
who
is
your
lawgiver—
14 Verily
I
say,
for
this
cause
ye
shall
do
these
things.
15 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
was
angry
with
him
who
was
my
servant
Ezra
Booth,
and
also
my
servant
Isaac
Morley,
for
they
a
kept
not
the
law,
neither
the
commandment;
16 They
sought
a
evil
in
their
hearts,
and
I,
the
Lord,
b
withheld
my
Spirit.
They
c
condemned
for
evil
that
thing
in
which
there
was
no
evil;
nevertheless
I
have
forgiven
my
servant
Isaac
Morley.
17 And
also
my
servant
a
Edward
Partridge,
behold,
he
hath
sinned,
and
b
Satan
seeketh
to
destroy
his
soul;
but
when
these
things
are
made
known
unto
them,
and
they
repent
of
the
evil,
they
shall
be
forgiven.
18 And
now,
verily
I
say
that
it
is
expedient
in
me
that
my
servant
Sidney
Gilbert,
after
a
few
weeks,
shall
return
upon
his
business,
and
to
his
a
agency
in
the
land
of
Zion;
19 And
that
which
he
hath
seen
and
heard
may
be
made
known
unto
my
disciples,
that
they
perish
not.
And
for
this
cause
have
I
spoken
these
things.
20 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
that
my
servant
Isaac
Morley
may
not
be
a
tempted
above
that
which
he
is
able
to
bear,
and
counsel
wrongfully
to
your
hurt,
I
gave
commandment
that
his
farm
should
be
sold.
21 I
will
not
that
my
servant
Frederick
G.
Williams
should
sell
his
farm,
for
I,
the
Lord,
will
to
retain
a
strong
hold
in
the
land
of
Kirtland,
for
the
space
of
five
years,
in
the
which
I
will
not
overthrow
the
wicked,
that
thereby
I
may
save
some.
22 And
after
that
day,
I,
the
Lord,
will
not
hold
any
a
guilty
that
shall
go
with
an
open
heart
up
to
the
land
of
Zion;
for
I,
the
Lord,
require
the
b
hearts
of
the
children
of
men.
23 Behold,
now
it
is
called
a
today
until
the
b
coming
of
the
Son
of
Man,
and
verily
it
is
a
day
of
c
sacrifice,
and
a
day
for
the
tithing
of
my
people;
for
he
that
is
d
tithed
shall
not
be
e
burned
at
his
coming.
24 For
after
today
cometh
the
a
burning—this
is
speaking
after
the
manner
of
the
Lord—for
verily
I
say,
tomorrow
all
the
b
proud
and
they
that
do
wickedly
shall
be
as
c
stubble;
and
I
will
burn
them
up,
for
I
am
the
Lord
of
Hosts;
and
I
will
not
d
spare
any
that
remain
in
e
Babylon.
25 Wherefore,
if
ye
believe
me,
ye
will
labor
while
it
is
called
a
today.
26 And
it
is
not
meet
that
my
servants,
a
Newel
K.
Whitney
and
Sidney
Gilbert,
should
sell
their
b
store
and
their
possessions
here;
for
this
is
not
wisdom
until
the
residue
of
the
church,
which
remaineth
in
this
place,
shall
go
up
unto
the
land
of
Zion.
27 Behold,
it
is
said
in
my
laws,
or
forbidden,
to
get
in
a
debt
to
thine
enemies;
28 But
behold,
it
is
not
said
at
any
time
that
the
Lord
should
not
take
when
he
please,
and
pay
as
seemeth
him
good.
29 Wherefore,
as
ye
are
agents,
ye
are
on
the
Lord's
errand;
and
whatever
ye
do
according
to
the
will
of
the
Lord
is
the
Lord's
business.
30 And
he
hath
set
you
to
provide
for
his
saints
in
these
last
days,
that
they
may
obtain
an
a
inheritance
in
the
land
of
Zion.
31 And
behold,
I,
the
Lord,
declare
unto
you,
and
my
a
words
are
sure
and
shall
not
b
fail,
that
they
shall
obtain
it.
32 But
all
things
must
come
to
pass
in
their
time.
33 Wherefore,
be
not
a
weary
in
b
well-doing,
for
ye
are
laying
the
foundation
of
a
great
work.
And
out
of
c
small
things
proceedeth
that
which
is
great.
34 Behold,
the
Lord
a
requireth
the
b
heart
and
a
c
willing
mind;
and
the
willing
and
d
obedient
shall
e
eat
the
good
of
the
land
of
Zion
in
these
last
days.
35 And
the
a
rebellious
shall
be
b
cut
off
out
of
the
land
of
Zion,
and
shall
be
sent
away,
and
shall
not
inherit
the
land.
36 For,
verily
I
say
that
the
rebellious
are
not
of
the
blood
of
a
Ephraim,
wherefore
they
shall
be
plucked
out.
37 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
have
made
my
church
in
these
last
days
like
unto
a
a
judge
sitting
on
a
hill,
or
in
a
high
place,
to
b
judge
the
nations.
38 For
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
the
inhabitants
of
Zion
shall
a
judge
all
things
pertaining
to
Zion.
39 And
a
liars
and
hypocrites
shall
be
proved
by
them,
and
they
who
are
b
not
c
apostles
and
prophets
shall
be
d
known.
40 And
even
the
a
bishop,
who
is
a
b
judge,
and
his
counselors,
if
they
are
not
faithful
in
their
c
stewardships
shall
be
condemned,
and
d
others
shall
be
planted
in
their
e
stead.
41 For,
behold,
I
say
unto
you
that
a
Zion
shall
flourish,
and
the
b
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
be
upon
her;
42 And
she
shall
be
an
a
ensign
unto
the
people,
and
there
shall
come
unto
her
out
of
every
b
nation
under
heaven.
43 And
the
day
shall
come
when
the
nations
of
the
earth
shall
a
tremble
because
of
her,
and
shall
fear
because
of
her
terrible
ones.
The
Lord
hath
spoken
it.
Amen.
