D&C 70
Behold,
and
hearken,
O
ye
inhabitants
of
Zion,
and
all
ye
people
of
my
church
who
are
afar
off,
and
a
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord
which
I
give
unto
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
also
unto
my
servant
Martin
Harris,
and
also
unto
my
servant
Oliver
Cowdery,
and
also
unto
my
servant
John
Whitmer,
and
also
unto
my
servant
Sidney
Rigdon,
and
also
unto
my
servant
b
William
W.
Phelps,
by
the
way
of
commandment
unto
them.
2 For
I
give
unto
them
a
commandment;
wherefore
hearken
and
hear,
for
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
them—
3 I,
the
Lord,
have
appointed
them,
and
ordained
them
to
be
a
stewards
over
the
revelations
and
commandments
which
I
have
given
unto
them,
and
which
I
shall
hereafter
give
unto
them;
4 And
an
account
of
this
a
stewardship
will
I
require
of
them
in
the
day
of
judgment.
5 Wherefore,
I
have
appointed
unto
them,
and
this
is
their
business
in
the
church
of
God,
to
a
manage
them
and
the
concerns
thereof,
yea,
the
benefits
thereof.
6 Wherefore,
a
commandment
I
give
unto
them,
that
they
shall
not
give
these
things
unto
the
church,
neither
unto
the
a
world;
7 Nevertheless,
inasmuch
as
they
a
receive
more
than
is
needful
for
their
necessities
and
their
wants,
it
shall
be
given
into
my
b
storehouse;
8 And
the
a
benefits
shall
be
consecrated
unto
the
inhabitants
of
Zion,
and
unto
their
generations,
inasmuch
as
they
become
b
heirs
according
to
the
laws
of
the
kingdom.
9 Behold,
this
is
what
the
Lord
requires
of
every
man
in
his
a
stewardship,
even
as
I,
the
Lord,
have
appointed
or
shall
hereafter
appoint
unto
any
man.
10 And
behold,
none
are
exempt
from
this
a
law
who
belong
to
the
church
of
the
living
God;
11 Yea,
neither
the
bishop,
neither
the
a
agent
who
keepeth
the
Lord's
storehouse,
neither
he
who
is
appointed
in
a
stewardship
over
b
temporal
things.
12 He
who
is
appointed
to
administer
spiritual
things,
the
same
is
a
worthy
of
his
hire,
even
as
those
who
are
appointed
to
a
stewardship
to
administer
in
temporal
things;
13 Yea,
even
more
abundantly,
which
abundance
is
multiplied
unto
them
through
the
a
manifestations
of
the
Spirit.
14 Nevertheless,
in
your
temporal
things
you
shall
be
a
equal,
and
this
not
grudgingly,
otherwise
the
abundance
of
the
manifestations
of
the
Spirit
shall
be
b
withheld.
15 Now,
this
commandment
I
give
unto
my
servants
for
their
a
benefit
while
they
remain,
for
a
manifestation
of
my
blessings
upon
their
heads,
and
for
a
b
reward
of
their
c
diligence
and
for
their
security;
16 For
food
and
for
a
raiment;
for
an
inheritance;
for
houses
and
for
lands,
in
whatsoever
circumstances
I,
the
Lord,
shall
place
them,
and
whithersoever
I,
the
Lord,
shall
send
them.
17 For
they
have
been
faithful
over
a
many
things,
and
have
done
well
inasmuch
as
they
have
not
sinned.
18 Behold,
I,
the
Lord,
am
a
merciful
and
will
bless
them,
and
they
shall
enter
into
the
joy
of
these
things.
Even
so.
Amen.
