D&C 38
Thus
saith
the
Lord
your
God,
even
Jesus
Christ,
the
Great
I
a
Am,
Alpha
and
Omega,
the
beginning
b
and
the
end,
the
same
c
which
looked
upon
the
wide
d
expanse
of
eternity,
and
all
the
seraphic
hosts
e
of
heaven,
before
f
the
world
was
made;
2 The
same
which
a
knoweth
all
things,
for
b
all
things
are
c
present
before
mine
eyes;
3 I
am
the
same
which
a
spake,
and
the
world
was
made,
and
all
things
came
by
me.
4 I
am
the
same
which
have
taken
the
a
Zion
of
b
Enoch
into
mine
own
bosom;
and
verily,
I
say,
even
as
many
as
have
c
believed
in
my
name,
for
I
am
Christ,
and
in
mine
own
name,
by
the
virtue
of
the
d
blood
which
I
have
spilt,
have
I
pleaded
before
the
Father
for
them.
5 But
behold,
the
residue
of
the
a
wicked
have
I
kept
in
b
chains
of
darkness
until
the
c
judgment
of
the
great
day,
which
shall
come
at
the
end
of
the
earth;
6 And
even
so
will
I
cause
the
wicked
to
be
kept,
that
will
not
hear
my
voice
but
a
harden
their
hearts,
and
wo,
wo,
wo,
is
their
doom.
7 But
behold,
verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you
that
mine
a
eyes
are
upon
you.
I
am
in
your
b
midst
and
ye
cannot
c
see
me;
8 But
the
day
soon
cometh
that
ye
shall
a
see
me,
and
know
that
I
am;
for
the
b
veil
of
darkness
shall
soon
be
rent,
and
he
that
is
not
c
purified
shall
not
d
abide
the
day.
9 Wherefore,
gird
up
your
loins
and
be
prepared.
Behold,
the
a
kingdom
is
yours,
and
the
enemy
shall
not
overcome.
10 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
ye
are
a
clean,
but
not
all;
and
there
is
none
else
with
whom
I
am
well
b
pleased;
11 For
all
a
flesh
is
corrupted
before
me;
and
the
powers
of
b
darkness
prevail
upon
the
earth,
among
the
children
of
men,
in
the
presence
of
all
the
hosts
of
heaven—
12 Which
causeth
a
silence
to
reign,
and
all
eternity
is
b
pained,
and
the
c
angels
are
waiting
the
great
command
to
d
reap
down
the
earth,
to
e
gather
the
f
tares
that
they
may
be
g
burned;
and,
behold,
the
enemy
is
combined.
13 And
now
I
show
unto
you
a
mystery,
a
thing
which
is
had
in
secret
chambers,
to
bring
to
pass
even
your
a
destruction
in
process
of
time,
and
ye
knew
it
not;
14 But
now
I
tell
it
unto
you,
and
ye
are
blessed,
not
because
of
your
iniquity,
neither
your
hearts
of
unbelief;
for
verily
some
of
you
are
a
guilty
before
me,
but
I
will
be
merciful
unto
your
b
weakness.
15 Therefore,
be
ye
a
strong
from
henceforth;
b
fear
not,
for
the
kingdom
is
yours.
16 And
for
your
salvation
I
give
unto
you
a
commandment,
for
I
have
heard
your
a
prayers,
and
the
b
poor
have
complained
before
me,
and
the
c
rich
have
I
made,
and
all
flesh
is
mine,
and
I
am
no
d
respecter
of
persons.
17 And
I
have
made
the
earth
rich,
and
behold
it
is
my
a
footstool,
wherefore,
again
I
will
stand
upon
it.
18 And
I
hold
forth
and
deign
to
give
unto
you
greater
riches,
even
a
land
of
a
promise,
a
land
b
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
upon
which
there
shall
be
no
c
curse
when
the
Lord
cometh;
19 And
I
will
give
it
unto
you
for
the
land
of
your
inheritance,
if
you
seek
it
with
all
your
hearts.
20 And
this
shall
be
my
covenant
with
you,
ye
shall
have
it
for
the
land
of
your
inheritance,
and
for
the
a
inheritance
of
your
children
forever,
while
the
earth
shall
stand,
and
ye
shall
possess
it
again
in
eternity,
no
more
to
pass
away.
21 But,
verily
I
say
unto
you
that
in
time
ye
shall
have
no
a
king
nor
ruler,
for
I
will
be
your
king
and
watch
over
you.
22 Wherefore,
hear
my
voice
and
a
follow
me,
and
you
shall
be
a
b
free
people,
and
ye
shall
have
no
laws
but
my
laws
when
I
come,
for
I
am
your
c
lawgiver,
and
what
can
stay
my
hand?
23 But,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
a
teach
one
another
according
to
the
office
wherewith
I
have
appointed
you;
24 And
let
every
man
a
esteem
his
brother
as
himself,
and
practice
b
virtue
and
holiness
before
me.
25 And
again
I
say
unto
you,
let
every
man
esteem
his
a
brother
as
himself.
26 For
what
man
among
you
having
twelve
sons,
and
is
no
respecter
of
them,
and
they
serve
him
obediently,
and
he
saith
unto
the
one:
Be
thou
clothed
in
robes
and
sit
thou
here;
and
to
the
other:
Be
thou
clothed
in
rags
and
sit
thou
there—and
looketh
upon
his
sons
and
saith
I
am
a
just?
27 Behold,
this
I
have
given
unto
you
as
a
parable,
and
it
is
even
as
I
am.
I
say
unto
you,
be
a
one;
and
if
ye
are
not
one
ye
are
not
mine.
28 And
again,
I
say
unto
you
that
the
enemy
in
the
secret
chambers
seeketh
your
a
lives.
29 Ye
hear
of
a
wars
in
far
countries,
and
you
say
that
there
will
soon
be
great
wars
in
far
countries,
but
ye
know
not
the
hearts
of
men
in
your
own
land.
30 I
tell
you
these
things
because
of
your
prayers;
wherefore,
a
treasure
up
b
wisdom
in
your
bosoms,
lest
the
wickedness
of
men
reveal
these
things
unto
you
by
their
wickedness,
in
a
manner
which
shall
speak
in
your
ears
with
a
voice
louder
than
that
which
shall
shake
the
earth;
but
if
ye
are
prepared
ye
shall
not
fear.
31 And
that
ye
might
escape
the
power
of
the
a
enemy,
and
be
gathered
unto
me
a
righteous
people,
without
b
spot
and
blameless—
32 Wherefore,
for
this
cause
I
gave
unto
you
the
a
commandment
that
ye
should
go
to
the
b
Ohio;
and
there
I
will
give
unto
you
my
c
law;
and
there
you
shall
be
d
endowed
with
power
from
on
high;
33 And
from
thence,
whosoever
I
will
shall
a
go
forth
among
a
all
nations,
and
it
shall
be
told
them
what
they
shall
do;
for
I
have
a
great
work
laid
up
in
store,
for
Israel
shall
be
b
saved,
and
I
will
c
lead
them
whithersoever
I
will,
and
no
power
shall
d
stay
my
hand.
34 And
now,
I
give
unto
the
church
in
these
parts
a
commandment,
that
certain
men
among
them
shall
be
appointed,
and
they
shall
be
a
appointed
by
the
b
voice
of
the
church;
35 And
they
shall
look
to
the
poor
and
the
needy,
and
administer
to
their
a
relief
that
they
shall
not
suffer;
and
send
them
forth
to
the
place
which
I
have
commanded
them;
36 And
this
shall
be
their
work,
to
govern
the
affairs
of
the
property
of
this
a
church.
37 And
they
that
have
farms
that
cannot
be
sold,
let
them
be
left
or
rented
as
seemeth
them
good.
38 See
that
all
things
are
preserved;
and
when
men
are
a
endowed
with
power
from
on
high
and
sent
forth,
all
these
things
shall
be
gathered
unto
the
bosom
of
the
church.
39 And
if
ye
seek
the
a
riches
which
it
is
the
will
of
the
Father
to
give
unto
you,
ye
shall
be
the
richest
of
all
people,
for
ye
shall
have
the
riches
of
eternity;
and
it
must
needs
be
that
the
b
riches
of
the
earth
are
mine
to
give;
but
beware
of
c
pride,
lest
ye
become
as
the
d
Nephites
of
old.
40 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
I
give
unto
you
a
commandment,
that
every
man,
both
elder,
priest,
teacher,
and
also
member,
go
to
with
his
might,
with
the
a
labor
of
his
b
hands,
to
prepare
and
accomplish
the
things
which
I
have
commanded.
41 And
let
your
a
preaching
be
the
b
warning
voice,
every
man
to
his
neighbor,
in
mildness
and
in
c
meekness.
42 And
go
ye
a
out
from
among
the
b
wicked.
Save
yourselves.
Be
ye
c
clean
that
bear
the
vessels
of
the
Lord.
Even
so.
Amen.
