D&C 21
Behold,
there
shall
be
a
a
record
kept
among
you;
and
in
it
thou
shalt
be
called
a
b
seer,
a
translator,
a
prophet,
an
c
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
an
elder
of
the
church
through
the
will
of
God
the
Father,
and
the
grace
of
your
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
2 Being
a
inspired
of
the
Holy
Ghost
to
lay
the
foundation
thereof,
and
to
b
build
it
up
unto
the
most
holy
faith.
3 Which
a
church
was
b
organized
and
established
in
the
year
of
your
Lord
eighteen
hundred
and
thirty,
in
the
fourth
month,
and
on
the
sixth
day
of
the
month
which
is
called
April.
4 Wherefore,
meaning
the
church,
thou
shalt
give
a
heed
unto
all
his
words
and
b
commandments
which
he
shall
give
unto
you
as
he
receiveth
them,
walking
in
all
c
holiness
before
me;
5 For
his
a
word
ye
shall
receive,
as
if
from
mine
own
mouth,
in
all
patience
and
faith.
6 For
by
doing
these
things
the
a
gates
of
hell
shall
not
prevail
against
you;
yea,
and
the
Lord
God
will
disperse
the
powers
of
b
darkness
from
before
you,
and
cause
the
heavens
to
c
shake
for
your
d
good,
and
his
name's
e
glory.
7 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
God:
Him
have
I
inspired
to
move
the
cause
of
a
Zion
in
mighty
power
for
good,
and
his
diligence
I
know,
and
his
prayers
I
have
heard.
8 Yea,
his
weeping
for
Zion
I
have
seen,
and
I
will
cause
that
he
shall
mourn
for
her
no
longer;
for
his
days
of
rejoicing
are
come
unto
the
a
remission
of
his
sins,
and
the
manifestations
of
my
blessings
upon
his
works.
9 For,
behold,
I
will
a
bless
all
those
who
labor
in
my
vineyard
with
a
mighty
blessing,
and
they
shall
believe
on
his
words,
which
are
given
him
through
me
by
the
b
Comforter,
which
c
manifesteth
that
Jesus
was
d
crucified
by
e
sinful
men
for
the
sins
of
the
f
world,
yea,
for
the
remission
of
sins
unto
the
g
contrite
heart.
10 Wherefore
it
behooveth
me
that
he
should
be
a
ordained
by
you,
Oliver
Cowdery
mine
apostle;
11 This
being
an
ordinance
unto
you,
that
you
are
an
elder
under
his
hand,
he
being
the
a
first
unto
you,
that
you
might
be
an
elder
unto
this
church
of
Christ,
bearing
my
name—
12 And
the
first
a
preacher
of
this
church
unto
the
church,
and
before
the
world,
yea,
before
the
Gentiles;
yea,
and
thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
lo,
lo!
to
the
b
Jews
also.
Amen.
