Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require
all their surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my
church in Zion, |
|
|
| Build
Zion, pay debts |
2 |
For the building
of mine house, and for the laying of the foundation of Zion and for the
priesthood, and for the debts of the Presidency of my Church. |

And after that, those who have thus
been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this

the Lord. |

Verily I say unto you, it shall come
to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed
of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not
be found worthy to abide among you. |

Zion |
6 |
And I say unto you, if my people
observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land
of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon,
that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not be
a land of Zion unto you. |

|
| All
stakes |
7 |
And this shall be an ensample unto
all the stakes of Zion. Even so. Amen. |
