D&C 43
O
hearken,
ye
elders
of
my
church,
and
give
ear
to
the
words
which
I
shall
speak
unto
you.
2 For
behold,
verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
ye
have
received
a
commandment
for
a
a
law
unto
my
church,
through
him
whom
I
have
appointed
unto
you
to
receive
commandments
and
b
revelations
from
my
hand.
3 And
this
ye
shall
know
assuredly—that
there
is
a
none
other
appointed
unto
you
to
receive
b
commandments
and
revelations
until
he
be
taken,
if
he
c
abide
in
me.
4 But
verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
a
none
else
shall
be
appointed
unto
this
gift
except
it
be
through
him;
for
if
it
be
taken
from
him
he
shall
not
have
power
except
to
appoint
another
in
his
stead.
5 And
this
shall
be
a
law
unto
you,
that
ye
a
receive
not
the
b
teachings
of
any
that
shall
come
before
you
as
revelations
or
commandments;
6 And
this
I
give
unto
you
that
you
may
not
be
a
deceived,
that
you
may
know
they
are
not
of
me.
7 For
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
he
that
is
a
ordained
of
me
shall
come
in
at
the
b
gate
and
be
ordained
as
I
have
told
you
before,
to
teach
those
c
revelations
which
you
have
received
and
shall
receive
through
him
whom
I
have
appointed.
8 And
now,
behold,
I
give
unto
you
a
a
commandment,
that
when
ye
are
b
assembled
together
ye
shall
c
instruct
and
d
edify
each
other,
that
ye
may
know
e
how
to
act
and
direct
my
church,
how
to
act
upon
the
points
of
my
law
and
commandments,
which
I
have
given.
9 And
thus
ye
shall
become
instructed
in
the
law
of
my
church,
and
be
a
sanctified
by
that
which
ye
have
received,
and
ye
shall
bind
yourselves
to
act
in
all
holiness
before
me—
10 That
inasmuch
as
ye
do
this,
glory
shall
be
a
added
to
the
kingdom
which
ye
have
received.
Inasmuch
as
ye
do
it
not,
it
shall
be
b
taken,
even
that
which
ye
have
received.
11
a
Purge
ye
out
the
b
iniquity
which
is
among
you;
sanctify
yourselves
before
me;
12 And
if
ye
desire
the
glories
of
the
kingdom,
a
appoint
ye
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
uphold
him
before
me
by
the
prayer
of
faith.
13 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
that
if
ye
desire
the
a
mysteries
of
the
kingdom,
provide
for
him
food
and
raiment,
and
whatsoever
thing
he
needeth
to
accomplish
the
work
wherewith
I
have
commanded
him;
14 And
if
ye
do
it
not
he
shall
remain
unto
them
that
have
received
him,
that
I
may
reserve
unto
myself
a
a
pure
b
people
before
me.
15 Again
I
say,
hearken
ye
elders
of
my
a
church,
whom
I
have
appointed:
Ye
are
not
sent
forth
to
be
b
taught,
but
to
c
teach
the
children
of
men
the
things
which
I
have
put
into
your
hands
by
the
power
of
my
d
Spirit;
16 And
ye
are
to
be
a
taught
from
on
high.
b
Sanctify
yourselves
and
ye
shall
be
c
endowed
with
power,
that
ye
may
give
even
as
I
have
spoken.
17 Hearken
ye,
for,
behold,
the
a
great
b
day
of
the
Lord
is
nigh
at
hand.
18 For
the
day
cometh
that
the
Lord
shall
utter
his
a
voice
out
of
heaven;
the
heavens
shall
b
shake
and
the
earth
shall
c
tremble,
and
the
d
trump
of
God
shall
sound
both
long
and
loud,
and
shall
say
to
the
sleeping
nations:
Ye
saints
e
arise
and
live;
ye
sinners
f
stay
and
g
sleep
until
I
shall
call
again.
19 Wherefore
gird
up
your
loins
lest
ye
be
found
among
the
wicked.
20 Lift
up
your
voices
and
spare
not.
Call
upon
the
nations
to
repent,
both
old
and
young,
both
a
bond
and
free,
saying:
Prepare
yourselves
for
the
great
day
of
the
Lord;
21 For
if
I,
who
am
a
man,
do
lift
up
my
voice
and
call
upon
you
to
repent,
and
ye
a
hate
me,
what
will
ye
say
when
the
b
day
cometh
when
the
c
thunders
shall
utter
their
voices
from
the
ends
of
the
earth,
speaking
to
the
ears
of
all
that
live,
saying—Repent,
and
prepare
for
the
great
day
of
the
Lord?
22 Yea,
and
again,
when
the
a
lightnings
shall
streak
forth
from
the
east
unto
the
west,
and
shall
utter
forth
their
voices
unto
all
that
live,
and
make
the
ears
of
all
tingle
that
hear,
saying
these
words—Repent
ye,
for
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
is
come?
23 And
again,
the
Lord
shall
utter
his
voice
out
of
heaven,
saying:
Hearken,
O
ye
nations
of
the
earth,
and
hear
the
words
of
that
God
who
a
made
you.
24 O,
ye
nations
of
the
earth,
how
often
would
I
have
gathered
you
together
as
a
a
hen
gathereth
her
chickens
under
her
wings,
but
ye
b
would
not!
25 How
oft
have
I
a
called
upon
you
by
the
mouth
of
my
b
servants,
and
by
the
c
ministering
of
angels,
and
by
mine
own
voice,
and
by
the
voice
of
d
thunderings,
and
by
the
voice
of
lightnings,
and
by
the
voice
of
tempests,
and
by
the
voice
of
earthquakes,
and
great
hailstorms,
and
by
the
voice
of
e
famines
and
pestilences
of
every
kind,
and
by
the
great
sound
of
a
f
trump,
and
by
the
voice
of
judgment,
and
by
the
voice
of
g
mercy
all
the
day
long,
and
by
the
voice
of
glory
and
honor
and
the
h
riches
of
eternal
life,
and
would
have
saved
you
with
an
i
everlasting
salvation,
but
ye
would
not!
26 Behold,
the
day
has
come,
when
the
a
cup
of
the
b
wrath
of
mine
indignation
is
full.
27 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
these
are
the
words
of
the
Lord
your
God.
28 Wherefore,
labor
ye,
a
labor
ye
in
my
vineyard
for
the
last
time—for
the
last
time
call
upon
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth.
29 For
in
mine
own
due
time
will
I
a
come
upon
the
earth
in
b
judgment,
and
my
people
shall
be
c
redeemed
and
shall
d
reign
with
me
on
earth.
30 For
the
great
a
Millennium,
of
which
I
have
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
my
servants,
shall
come.
31 For
a
Satan
shall
be
b
bound,
and
when
he
is
loosed
again
he
shall
only
reign
for
a
c
little
season,
and
then
cometh
the
d
end
of
the
earth.
32 And
he
that
liveth
in
a
righteousness
shall
be
b
changed
in
the
twinkling
of
an
eye,
and
the
earth
shall
pass
away
so
as
by
c
fire.
33 And
the
wicked
shall
go
away
into
unquenchable
a
fire,
and
their
end
no
man
knoweth
on
earth,
nor
ever
shall
know,
until
they
come
before
me
in
b
judgment.
34 Hearken
ye
to
these
words.
Behold,
I
am
Jesus
Christ,
the
a
Savior
of
the
world.
b
Treasure
these
things
up
in
your
hearts,
and
let
the
c
solemnities
of
d
eternity
e
rest
upon
your
f
minds.
35 Be
a
sober.
Keep
all
my
commandments.
Even
so.
Amen.
