Revelation given to Enoch, concerning the order of the
church for the benefit of the poor. |
Verily I say unto you my friends I give unto you council and
a commandment concerning all the properties which belong to the Firm which
I commanded to be established organized and
established to be a United firm and an everlasting firm for the benefit
of my church and for the salvation of men until I come |
Verily I say unto you, my friends, I give unto
you counsel, & a commandment concerning all the properties which belong
to the Firm, which I commanded to be organized
& established, to be a United Firm, &
an everlasting Firm for the benefit of my church,
& for the salvation of men until I come. |
[1] Verily I say unto you
my friends, I give unto you counsel and a commandment, concerning all the
properties which belong to the order, which
I commanded to be organized and established, to be an
united order, and an everlasting order for
the benefit of my church, and for the salvation of men until I come, |
| with promise immutable and unchangable that inasmuch
as those whom I Commanded were faithful they should be blessed with a multiplicity
of blessings |
with promise immutible & unchangeable, that
inasmuch as those whom I commanded were faithful, they should be blessed
with [a] multiplicity of blessings; |
with promise immutable and unchangeable, that inasmuch as
those whom I commanded were faithful, they should be blessed with a multiplicity
of blessings; |
but inasmuch as some of <as
they were not faithful they were nigh unto cursing; |
but inasmuch as they were not faithful, they
were nigh unto cursing. |
but inasmuch as they were not faithful, they
were nigh unto cursing. |
| therefore inasmuch as some of> my servants
have not kept the commandment but have broken the covenant by Covitiousness
and with feigned words, I have cursed them with a very soar and grievous
Curse. |
Therefore inasmuch as some of my servants have not kept the
commandment but have broken the covenant, by coveteousness & with feigned
words, I have cursed them with a verry sore & grievous curse; |
Therefore, inasmuch as some of my servants have not kept the
commandment, but have broken the covenant, by covetousness and with feigned
words, I have cursed them with a very sore and grievous curse: |
| for I the Lord have decreed in my heart that inasmuch as any
man belonging to the firm shall be found a transgressor or in other words
shall break the covenant with which ye are bound, he shall be cursed in
his life and shall be trodden down by whom I will |
for I the Lord have decreed in my heart, that inasmuch as
any <man> belonging to the Firm, shall
be found a transgressor, or, in other words, shall break the covenant with

down by whom I will; |
for I the Lord have decreed in my heart, that inasmuch as
any man belonging to the order shall be found
a transgressor; or, in other words, shall break the covenant with which
ye are bound, he shall be cursed in his life, and shall be trodden down
by whom I will, |
| for I the Lord am not to be mocked in these things |
for I the Lord am not to be mocked in these things; |
for I, the Lord, am not to be mocked in these things: |
| and all this that the innocent among you may not be condemned
with the unjust and that the guilty among you may not escape because I the
Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
& all this that the inocent among you may not be condemned
with the unjust & that the guilty among you may not escape because I
the Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
and all this that the innocent among you, may not be condemned
with the unjust; and that the guilty among you may not escape, because I
the Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
| Therefore inasmuch as ye are found transgressors ye cannot
escape my wrath in your lives, |
Therefore, inasmuch as ye are
found transgressors, you cannot escape my wrath
in your lives; |
Therefore inasmuch as you are
found transgressors, ye cannot escape my wrath
in your lives: |
| and inasmuch as ye are cut off by transgression ye cannot
escape the buffitings of Satan unto the day of redemption, |
& inasmuch as ye are cut
off for transgression ye cannot escape the buffetings of Satan until the
day of redemption. |
inasmuch as ye are cut off for transgression, ye cannot escape
the buffetings of satan until the day of redemption. |
| And I now give unto you power from this very
hour that if any man among you of the firm is found a transgressor and repenteth
not of the evil that ye shall deliver him over unto the buffitings of Satan
and he shall have no more power to bring evil upon you |
And I now give unto you power from
this very hour, that if any man among you, of the Firm,
is found a transgressor, & repenteth not of the evil, that ye shall
deliver him over unto the buffetings of Satan, & he shall have no
more power to bring evil upon you; |
[2] And I now give unto
you power from this very hour, that if any man among you, of the order,
is found a transgressor, and repenteth not of the evil, that ye shall deliver
him over unto the buffetings of satan; and he shall not
have power to bring evil upon you. |
| but as long as ye hold communion with transgressors behold,
they bring evil upon you, |
but as long as ye hold communion with
transgressors, behold, they bring evil upon you. |
|

is the way that I the Lord have decreed to provide for my saints, that the
poor shall be exalted in that the rich are made low; |
but it must needs be done in mine own way: and behold this
is the way, that I the Lord have decreed to provide for my saints: that
the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low; |
| for the earth is full and there is enough and
to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of
men to be agents unto themselves: |

yea, I prepared all things, & have given unto the children of men to
be agents unto themselves; |
for the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare,

have made and impart not his portion according to the law of my Gospel unto
the poor and the needy, he shall with Div[es?] lift up his eyes <in hell>
being in torment. |
