| Joseph
and Sidney, teach the mysteries |
1 |
Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph
Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary
and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel,
the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures,
according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto
you, even as I will. |

| Until
I tell you to stop |
2 |
Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions
round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until
it shall be made known unto you. |
|
|
|
3 |
Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto
you. |
|
|
| Prepare
the way for more revelations |
4 |
Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon
the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the
commandments and revelations which are to come. |
|
|
|
5 |
Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand
and receive also; |
|
|
| Those
who understand get more |
6 |
For unto him who that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly,
even power. |
|
|
| Debate
enemies |
7 |
Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you
both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame
shall be made manifest. |
|
|
|
8 |
Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against
the Lord. |
|
|
| You
are invincible |
9 |
Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon
that is formed against you shall prosper; |
|
|
| |
10 |
And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded
in mine own due time. |
|
|
| Keep
comandments |
11 |
Wherefore, keep my commandments; for they are true and faithful.
Even so. Amen. |
