 42:14 And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.

 42:15 And all this ye shall observe to do as I have commanded concerning your teaching, until the fulness of my scriptures is given.

 42:16 And as ye shall lift up your voices by the Comforter, ye shall speak and prophesy as seemeth me good;

 42:17 For, behold, the Comforter knoweth all things, and beareth record of the Father and of the Son.

 42:18 And now, behold, I speak unto the church. Thou shalt not kill; and he that kills shall not have forgiveness in this world, nor in the world to come.

 42:19 And again, I say, thou shalt not kill; but he that killeth shall die.

 42:20 Thou shalt not steal; and he that stealeth and will not repent shall be cast out.

 42:21 Thou shalt not lie; he that lieth and will not repent shall be cast out.

 42:22 Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else.

 42:23 And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit; and if he repents not he shall be cast out.

 42:24 Thou shalt not commit adultery; and he that committeth adultery, and repenteth not, shall be cast out.

 42:25 But he that has committed adultery and repents with all his heart, and forsaketh it, and doeth it no more, thou shalt forgive;

 42:26 But if he doeth it again, he shall not be forgiven, but shall be cast out.

 42:27 Thou shalt not speak evil of thy neighbor, nor do him any harm.

 42:28 Thou knowest my laws concerning these things are given in my scriptures; he that sinneth and repenteth not shall be cast out.
