Section 6
1–6, Laborers in the Lord’s field gain salvation; 7–13, There is no gift greater than the gift of salvation; 14–27, A witness of the truth comes by the power of the Spirit; 28–37, Look unto Christ, and do good continually.
1. A great and
marvelous work is about to come forth unto the children of men.
1.
2. Behold, I am God; give heed unto my
word, which is quick and powerful,
sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore give heed unto my words.
2.
3. Behold, the
field is white already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap, let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day
lasts, that he may
treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.
3.
4. Yea, whosoever will thrust in his sickle and reap, the same is
called of God.
4.
5. Therefore, if you will
ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
5.
6. Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and
seek to bring forth and establish the cause of
Zion;
6.
7.
Seek not for
riches but for
wisdom, and behold, the
mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made
rich. Behold, he that hath
eternal life is rich.
7.
8. Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you
desire of me so it shall be unto you; and if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much
good in this generation.
8.
9. Say nothing but
repentance unto this generation; keep my commandments, and assist to bring forth my work, according to my commandments, and you shall be blessed.
9.
10. Behold thou hast a gift, and blessed art thou because of thy
gift. Remember it is
sacred and cometh from above—
10.
11. And if thou wilt
inquire, thou shalt know
mysteries which are great and marvelous; therefore thou shalt exercise thy
gift, that thou mayest find out mysteries, that thou mayest bring
many to the knowledge of the truth, yea,
convince them of the error of their ways.
11.
12. Make not thy gift known unto any save it be those who are of thy faith. Trifle not with
sacred things.
12.
13. If thou wilt do
good, yea, and
hold out
faithful to the
end, thou shalt be saved in the
kingdom of God, which is the greatest of all the
gifts of God; for there is no gift greater than the gift of
salvation.
13.
14. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou hast done; for thou hast
inquired of me, and behold, as often as thou hast inquired thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time.
14.
15. Behold, thou knowest that thou hast inquired of me and I did enlighten thy
mind; and now I tell thee these things that thou mayest know that thou hast been
enlightened by the
Spirit of truth;
15.
16. Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that
knowest thy thoughts and the
intents of thy
heart.
16.
17. I tell thee these things as a witness unto thee—that the words or the work which thou hast been writing are
true.
17.
18. Therefore be diligent;
stand by my
servant Joseph, faithfully, in whatsoever difficult circumstances he may be for the word’s sake.
18.
19. Admonish him in his faults, and also
receive admonition of him.
Be patient; be sober; be temperate; have patience, faith, hope and charity.
19.
20. Behold, thou art Oliver, and I have spoken unto thee because of thy desires; therefore
treasure up these words in thy heart. Be faithful and
diligent in keeping the commandments of God, and I will encircle thee in the arms of my
love.
20.
21. Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the
Son of God. I am the same that came unto mine
own, and mine own received me not. I am the
light which shineth in
darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
21.
22. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might
know concerning the truth of these things.
22.
23. Did I not speak
peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater
witness can you have than from God?
23.
24. And now, behold, you have received a
witness; for if I have
told you things which no man knoweth have you not received a witness?
24.
25. And, behold, I grant unto you a gift, if you desire of me, to
translate, even as my servant Joseph.
25.
26. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that there are
records which contain much of my gospel, which have been kept back because of the
wickedness of the people;
26.
27. And now I command you, that if you have good desires—a desire to lay up
treasures for yourself in heaven—then shall you assist in bringing to light, with your gift, those parts of my
scriptures which have been hidden because of iniquity.
27.
28. And now, behold, I give unto you, and also unto my servant Joseph, the
keys of this gift, which shall bring to light this ministry; and in the mouth of two or three
witnesses shall every word be established.
28.
29. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if they
reject my words, and this part of my gospel and ministry, blessed are ye, for they can do no more unto you than unto me.
29.
30. And even if they
do unto you even as they have done unto me, blessed are ye, for you shall
dwell with me in
glory.
30.
31. But if they
reject not my words, which shall be established by the
testimony which shall be given, blessed are they, and then shall ye have joy in the fruit of your labors.
31.
32. Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as
touching
one thing, behold, there will I be in the
midst of them—even so am I in the
midst of you.
32.
33.
Fear not to do
good, my sons, for whatsoever ye
sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow
good ye shall also reap good for your
reward.
33.
34. Therefore, fear not, little
flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are
built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.
34.
35. Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and
sin no more; perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you.
35.
36.
Look unto me in every
thought;
doubt not, fear not.
36.
37.
Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the
nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall
inherit the
kingdom of heaven. Amen.
37.
